+of split-window-sensibly by customizing `split-height-threshold' and the
+new option `split-width-threshold'. Both options now take the value nil
to inhibit splitting in one direction. Setting split-width-threshold to

in this respect. In any case, display-buffer may now split the largest
window vertically even when it is not as wide as the containing frame.
