Now since I wrote the stuff, I'm using M-num to switch windows ;)  But
I'm still reserving C-num for digit argument, even though I tend to
use C-u for it anyway.

Now, the window number thingy is entirely optional (at least yet).

Ben, is it possible to make that register kill/yank or yours optional,
even if it defaults to on?  Talking for myself, I'm not really using
registers all the much.  But considering, I wonder if I can make my
mode only work when region is not active, so there will be (almost) no
clashes with your stuff.
