From my understanding, Linda would like a second OS-window (and she
is already familiar with vim-windows), something that would only be
available in a gvim. Additionally, such multiple-OS-windows can be
done via an in-proc (one executable running, multiple OS-windows
showing from that one proc) or out-of-proc (multiple executables
running; such as using --remote commands).
