Hi,

I often find myself starting up a new session in tmux with the intent of it
being for a specific purpose, and naming it as such with "rename-session".
But in the course of me doing that, I often end up opening several windows,
all of which are a means to an end, and quickly need to go, as I then want
to clear all windows and concentrate on just one of them.

Funnily enough, Vim has an ":only" command which will kill other windows
except one of them.  I'm considering whether this functionality is useful in
tmux.  So for example, we might have:

kill-windows-except [-s target session] [-w target window]

which would kill all windows in a session except the named window, or the
currently focused window, if no options were given.

Is this functionality desired, I wonder?  I know I'd personally find it
useful, but that's no guarantee.  :)

If so, I'll code it up, it's trivial, but I wanted to ask first.

Kindly,
