That looks good, thanks.  Just one more thing:

In restore, we should check that the window's buffer is still "our
buffer".  In some rare occasions, revert-buffer may cause some prompt or
other thing that may change some window's configuration, so better be
safe than sorry.
I know this is not a new problem in your code, but while we're here, can
you fix this other one as well (and then commit)?
