It is a matter of personal preference. I usually keep mutt in my master
window and I want it to stay in the master because the master is the
largest window. When I create or un-minimize new windows, I don't want
them to displace mutt. Before I wrote this patch, I would have to do a
zoom after every create or un-minimize.

I assume you are misunderstanding me, because I agree with you that when
I select Mod+2 I always want the first window of the stack. I want
created or un-minimized clients to go to the last window of the stack.
I am not suggesting changing the way window numbering works.

Thanks for letting me know about this, but I am not writing scripts for
it but using it interactively.
