It sounds to me that you are seeking what GNOME/sawfish calls a
`group'. As far as I know, GNU Emacs does not handle groups. (I have
never used groups.)
However, they are an interesting idea. As far as I can see, groups
can be instantiated in two overlapping ways:
* as a cluster of windows in one frame, such as GNUS *Group*,
*Summary* and *Article*.
* as a cluster of frames (each with one or `grouped' windows)
together and in the same relative position, as in SCWM.
(A third way would be `everything related to a project'.)
I would think that one of the `theme' functions should provide this
(or these) among other features.
.... When I want to undo the effect of window splitting due to
compilation and grepping, I really want to get the most recently
used buffer for the project -- not the buffer current at the time a
window configuration was stored in a register.
What you want is an additional kind of undo. A `within the current
type of group' undo: not an undo that pops the buffer pointer from
the current stack, but one that pops the stack of `significant buffers
for the current context'.
Challenging ideas.
