======Synopsis:======
[[window]] new

======Description:======
This creates a new split (visible) window.  This is done by splitting one
of the current visible windows in half and giving the other half of its
space to the new window.  The [[set always_split_biggest]] variable controls
whether the biggest window (ON) or the current window (OFF) is split to
make room for the new window.

New windows usually initialize with zero values except for:
  * The current window's server
  * [[set notify_level]]
  * [[set scrollback]]
  * [[set hold_mode]]
  * [[set hold_slider]]
  * [[set lastlog_level]]
  * [[set lastlog]]

[[window level]] is set to NONE, and [[on window_create]] is hooked with the
new window's refnum.

Window refnums are initialy set to the lowest refnum greater than 0 that 
is not in use.  You can change a window's refnum with [[WINDOW NUMBER]] as 
long as that window does not have any channels.

This operation was already present in ircII2.1.5g.
