I chose "pin" because in some gui toolkits there is a widget that looks
like a little needle/pin that you can use to "fasten" the window and not
go away on certain operations.

I dont have a better name than pin right now, can someone think one up?

c-x o only jumps between other windows with the same group id.

The main attraction of this is that it is possible to have a number of
context windows, and an edit area. Its not normaly interesting to select
one of the context windows, only windows in the edit area.
