To "go away"? Probably.
But "to delete"? No.
I know Drew always wants to delete such frames because his window-manager
and use pattern make it inconvenient to have too many iconified windows.
OTOH with my window manager and my usage pattern, it's the reverse: deleting
frames is a major pain in the rear because when they are re-created, I have
to manually place them again (and set various other attributes like size,
set of workspaces they should appear in, ...).
So we should have a function to "make a frame go away" (probably bury-buffer
or quit-window or both) and use that, and then make this function
customizable so that we can decide whether to delete or to iconify.
