Then I will agree with you :). Allow frame/all-frames to mean the same in all
places and thus easier to learn/use.

Yes, window-list and window-list-1 becaomes the same, just with arguments in
different order. Could even remove c version of window-list, and implement it as
a call to window-list-1. Less code, less maintanance.
