I don't think you need to tell what it is to use it, nobody can tell
what cyclic ordering is but still has pretty good idea where
'other-window' will take them.  The function works well with 3 or 4
windows.  Even if it's not very useful by it's self, I think it's great
combo to use with rotate-windows.

That shouldn't change anything

To avoid confusion, I just implemented the function, test it out while
using different distigunsible windows.  I factored out the common code
in rotate-windows.
