I think the first step is to choose a single name for those, and then
use it systematically. I think we should simply call "window" the
traditional "real" "live" "leaf" windows that display a buffer. As for
the other ones, we could go for "internal window", but I think "parent
window" is better, tho maybe someone has a better idea ("compound
window", "super window", ... ?)
