This is certainly doable, but these new split rules would have to be
stored somewhere.  And I think a new split variable would have to be
added, which makes things more complicated than they already are, so I
don't know if it's worth it...

I always have two Emacs frames up -- one with Gnus in, and one with
everything else in.  I have

(global-set-key "\C-co" 'other-frame)

which is nice, since `C-x o' is `other-buffer'.

After starting to do this, things are much tidier.
