Even if we have two root commands now, it still makes sense to add more
sub-prefixes to not lock us into a limited set of keys, but to leave
room for possible future extensions.  Then every window concept could
have own prefix: 'C-x w s' could be reserved for side windows, then
'window-toggle-side-windows' will be on e.g. 'C-x w s t'.  'C-x w f'
could be reserved for window/frame relationship commands, then
'tear-off-window' will be on e.g. 'C-x w f t', etc.
