Area.spaces- [x].region_quadview of a View3D has no members for every of the four views, but refers directly to the right bottom view. All other 3 seem inaccessible. Or am I overlooking something?

There are several WINDOW regions in quadview mode, but there's no way to get the region (space?) data from it in python.

It's pretty arbitrary to have the bottom right one adjustable, 'cause the TOP right one is the one you would normally navigate.

Yep, RNA code is a bit odd, rna_SpaceView3D_region_quadview_get() returns the region just before the last one (last one being the "hidden" region that gathers the four quaded views, I guess)…

Should not be hard to make it an 4-elements array, returning regions -5 to -2, Campbell, Brecht, do you know good reason to current behavior?

Mmmh… We can’t have arrays of pointers in RNA… but we could have region_quadview1, region_quadview2, etc?

Note that the conventions for top/front etc are just conventions, you can for example set quadview, unlock and set all different axis views, then lock again.
