About "what behavior would be best if (as it seems) we still need to
design this". I don't use this function so I don't have any ideas
about what behavior would be best.

I think because this function has to work in some ad hoc manner, for
example, when a window is not dedicated and alone on its frame. The
initial claim "Delete all windows showing BUFFER-OR-NAME." is simply
wrong in this regard. Maybe we should say "Try to delete all windows
showing BUFFER-OR-NAME." instead.
But I'm not keen rewriting this doc-string because I never documented
the behavior of the prefix argument as Drew requested. I simply don't
understand how that works.
