(Dale Worley) presents a function perform-operation-in-other-window,
a generalization of the behavior of C-x 4.  I find a minor problem:

| As written, it causes "C-x 6 anything" to do "C-x anything" in the
| other window, and "ESC 6 anything" to do "ESC anything" in the
| other window,...

The ESC 6 bit interferes annoyingly with its function as a prefix
argument accumulator (Compare any of the other ESC <digit>
bindings.)  It is preferable to leave ESC 6 alone.
