I think in terms of flipping the window, horizontal/vertical don't
really leave that much room for interpretatin as
split-window-horizontally.  flip-windows-left-right above-below seem
kind of clunky tbh, imo we should just go with horizontal/vertical, I
mean, worst case users will learn it by using it, or reading the
doctring. 99% of users should already know from
split-window-horizotnally and it's counter part what horizontal and
vertical means in the context of window.  But I'm also fine with
left-right, only problem is that it will make searching through C-h f
and 'C-h m' a little bit weird
