(In Info, `clone-buffer' is bound to `M-n', BTW.
And in Emacs prior to 28, at least, it has _no_
global binding.)

IMHO, there's no reason to keep giving `C-x 5 2`
to `make-frame-command`.  All of the following
should be on the same key, distinguished by
default behavior versus different prefix-arg
behaviors:

* `make-frame-command' (or no longer give it any key)
* `clone-frame' - frame parameters
* `clone-frame' - frame parameters and window config

And all of that makes sense on `C-x 5 2', IMO.
The `2' is pretty naturally mnemonic for
duplicating/cloning/splitting.

In any case, I'd like to see only a single key
consumed by these make-a-frame behaviors, not
_both_ `C-x 5 2' and `C-x 5 <something else>'.
