Yes, window configurations have to store the buffer stack.
Like frame configurations store the buffer list,
there is no problem with that.

`set-window-buffer' could add its buffer to the stack only when
it is different than a buffer on the top of the stack.  A problem
may occur when `set-window-buffer' is used to set a buffer
temporarily.  Perhaps `set-window-buffer' should have a new argument
(e.g. NO-RECORD) to not change the stack in this case.
