I'm sorry, how does display-buffer come into this picture?  I thought
the original problem was with splitting a wide window in which the
margins were set to a large size in order to keep the body text at a
smaller width.  I'm asking whether we could pass this information to
the code which splits the window, so that its decisions would take
that information into consideration.
