The proofs of concept written by Joakim and Martin already handle this
behavior. They don't require much of a change to the usual window
semantics, either; the only new rule is that window operations only
effect the windows within the current window group (e.g., C-x 1 would
not delete the windows in other groups).
The only thing new that the "framelets" idea brings to the table is the
possibility of a separate set of tool-bars. But I don't think it's a
big advantage considering (i) the extra engineering that would be
required to get these extra toolbars to work, and (ii) the fact that
Emacs is mostly keyboard-driven anyway.
