Subject: OTHER-WINDOW in the frame world (was re:

If find-function provides 'find-tag' functionality for Emacs-Lisp
without the need to prepare tag tables beforehand then isn't M-.
the place to put it?

Mild massaging of the OTHER-WINDOW prefix argument processing could
allow M-4 . and M-5 . to be distinguished and direct the output
to another window or frame as appropriate.

This is a metaphor that could be extended to all -other-window/frame
situations, i.e. convert such functions to examine the value of
OTHER-WINDOW (rather than just its boolean status) and act accordingly.

We could even provide a variable for those who only ever use C-u to set
OTHER-WINDOW (rather than M-integer) to allow them to say that they mean
other frame.

Comments?
