We have that option in 'debugger-bury-or-kill'. Do you mean to

OK. What do you want to call it, 'windows-to-examine'? Shall we make
it a list of function/frame pairs defaulting to
'((get-lru-window . nil) (get-largest-window . visible) (get-largest-window .
0))
where nil stands for whatever
(or (window--frame-usable-p (selected-frame))
(window--frame-usable-p (last-nonminibuffer-frame)))
returns? Or do you want to control the DEDICATED and NOT-SELECTED
arguments as well? I hope that 'get-largest-window', 'get-lru-window'
and 'get-mru-window' are 100% compatible wrt their arguments but
haven't verified that yet.

For example. To provide the 'windows-to-examine' sketched above you
wouldn't want to specify an action function too.
