The notion of "excursion" occurs in several places in Emacs;
save-window-excursion restores the current window after executing some
form. I don't know if it makes sense here; my initial response is that
it doesn't. It depends on how deeply the notion of "current main" is
embedded in the code, and exactly how it is stored. 

I haven't implemented C-c C-m yet; I'll keep it in mind.
