Hrrrm, I should have said:

  Gravitational Research @ Home
  Drive the LIGO with Pythonⓡ

or...

  All the windows you need!
  Pull one, get two!

But seriously, these are seldomly used windows yes. The only issue I see
is that sp.signal might not be the best namespace to put them in.

What about having a proper namespace for window generators
(sp.signal.window) instead, leaving the old ones as aliases for backward
compatibility?

We do have get_window(), which is the perfect generic entry point. If
the window has been used and cited in the literature, I'd personally
like to have it available.
