At least on the lisp
level, we would have to maintain compatibility aliases effectively
forever, doubling the number of lisp symbols dealing with these
concepts.
I don't think it has to be forever. After a few years,
we could drop the old names.
We could rename `window' to `pane', but not rename `frame'.
That way, there would be no incompatibility, and only one stage
of renaming would be required.
I am still not saying we _should_ do this.
