The first definitely needs renaming. Its value is used to determine the 
behaviour of the current window (not other windows), and its value is 
used in the inverse way that the name suggests. Perhaps inhibit-deletion 
would be better. The downside is that the rename loses the association 
with the function delete-other-windows, but is that the only function 
that needs to look at this property anyway?
