Yeah, kinda

That's the point.  Imagine if buffers B and C contain long lines of
code, and sometimes you need to edit them, and other times you need to
look at a tiny section of theirs while editing A.  With this function,
instead of other-window, you bring B to the big window where A is at,
for more convinent editing.

Ok, I see what happen.  I found a simpler way to fix it: If we already
have list of previously atomic root windows, why not just make them
atomic again?

I also fixed some of the cycle-windows code, when it wasn't properly
working under C-u in which it only rotated subtree.

Right now, I feel the code is in a pretty complete state.
