I disagree, dedicated windows are windows that are dedicated to one
buffer, but that dosn't mean you can do stuff like split them or even
change their size.  rotate-windows is an exception, it seems like it's
moving the buffers around, but actually it's destroying and recreating
the window tree from scratch, so it gives the wrong impressoin.  The
other window-x don't have this issue, they're pretty clear about that
they do. Since dedicated windows are splittable, there's no reason why
they shouldn't be transposable etc.
