Yes, we should add the window group feature (as well as merging CEDET).
I've been planning to look into this after the 23.1 release, but if
someone wants to work on it now, please do.

I recall that we had an inconclusive discussion over the relative merits
of two proposals, one by Joakim that (IIRC) relied on window parameters,
and another by Martin that uses more built-in code.  Does anyone have
any new thoughts about this?
