Subject: Bug: org-babel-execute:emacs-lisp does not allow changing window configuration from within code block [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /home/yantar92/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

Recipe:
1. emacs -Q
2. Create the following org file
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(split-window-below)
#+end_src
3. Execute the source block
Observed behaviour:
The block returns, but the window is not splitted
Expected behaviour:
The window is splitted
The reason of the observed behaviour is that
org-babel-execute:emacs-lisp wraps the code block evaluation into
save-window-excursion. Thus window manipulation is impossible from
within babel blocks.
The real case scenario when one would need to change window layout from
within babel block is a window setup for a project development.
If certain project requires working with specific window configuration,
this can be defined by adding all the setup into a babel block somewhere
in the project. Then, the layout could be applied just by hitting C-c
C-c on the code block once one need to work on the project. However, it
is not possible with the current org-babel-execute:emacs-lisp
implementation.
