NewWindowRequest

NewWindowRequest configures window creation on tmux 3.3a or later. Its zero value uses inherited defaults; placement behavior depends on the receiver. Session.NewWindow uses tmux's next free index. Window.NewWindow instead targets the receiver's occupied index and normally returns a command error; KillExisting may replace it. Window.NewWindow rejects Index. SelectExisting may run name-expansion probes before creation.
