I see. I understand what you are after to, but I think there are several
problems with what you are doing there in other areas then what you gain
with repeat-complex-command.

Also, as a remark, I extended the "window" command in just certain cases
as discussed earlier, because I perecieved Zaretski that he didn't like
using a global var as I did initially in Info-jump in some mail. But you
can certainly do without that window argument. You don't need to use
plist hack I used. So you can totally skip those "window" gymnastics
and just use &rest args.

Also isn't repeat-complex-command a command too? If you are after the
consistency, then you should perhaps have
repeat-complex-command-other-window too? :).
