I wanted to show, just this once for this project, the *compilation* buffer in a bottom split. I also wanted the split to be dedicated, so no other buffers would occupy it by accident, and not be deleted (aka closed) when using delete-other-windows. That should be reserved for code buffers.
With some luck, all my Windows programming wet dream might actually come true one day. There’s progress on making Swift available on Windows, and there’s progress on providing a Win32 API wrapper for Swift so you can share model code across platforms and write UI for Windows and Mac separately.

It’s experimental, but apparently way less experimental than it was a year ago!
