-Parameters in this list are saved by `current-window-configuration' and

 The car of each entry of this alist is the symbol specifying the
 parameter.  The cdr is one of the following:
 
-The symbol `state' means the parameter is saved by `window-state-get'
-provided its IGNORE argument is nil.  `current-window-configuration'
-does not save this parameter.
+nil means the parameter is neither saved by `window-state-get' nor by
+`current-window-configuration'.
 
-nil means the parameter is saved by `current-window-configuration' and,
-provided its IGNORE argument is nil, by `window-state-get'.
+t means the parameter is saved by `current-window-configuration' and,
+provided its WRITABLE argument is nil, by `window-state-get'.
 
-t means the parameter is saved unconditionally by both
-`current-window-configuration' and `window-state-get'.  Parameters
-without read syntax (like windows or frames) should not use that.
+The symbol `writable' means the parameter is saved unconditionally by
+both `current-window-configuration' and `window-state-get'.  Do not use
+this value for parameters without read syntax (like windows or frames).
