Maybe. Special frames like speedbar would probably have custom
commands jump the their frames if desired. If there is no generic way
to get to these windows/frames, then it would be tough for a
programmer to fix mistakes on a terminal.
(With this feature, these would not be special frames;
they would not be separate frames at all. They would
be special windows.)
Ok, so these windows should be selectable with select-window,
like any other window.

I think we need to have two modes of next-window. That way,
walk-windows will automatically have two modes too. Then those things
that really need to see *all* windows can see these windows, while
they are invisible fo rordinary commands such as C-x o.
It will be necessary to figure out the best way to specify the args
for next-window for this. Does someone want to do it? If it can be
done using new values of the existing args of next-window, without
adding any new args, that would be good, because many other functions
that call next-window would automatically get the new feature in
a compatible way.
A bug that annoys many w/ speedbar is when they try to close the frame
which hosts Speedbar's minibuffer, at which time it throws an error.
Such a walk-windows feature would allow some bit of code to seek out
frames whos minibuffers are hosted in such another frame.
Why does Speedbar use a minibuffer for this? That seems like a very
bizarre and inconvenient thing to do.
