The problem with this is that if the "special" buffer is already
displayed in a window, that window is supposed to be used instead of
popping up a special window (at least, according to old behavior).
We could accomodate this by changing display-buffer--special to also
call display-buffer--maybe-same-window and display-buffer-reuse-window
for special-display-p buffers.
Then another problem arises: all direct switch-to-buffer calls will
trigger special display for special buffers, which is not consistent
with old behavior. The key difference here is that in Emacs 23 the
`info' command calls display-buffer (using same-window-regexps to force
it into the same window), whereas currently `info' uses switch-to-buffer
(with the intention of transitioning away from same-window-*).
OTOH, I don't see an easy way to handle all the backward compatibility
exceptions in this case. One possibility is to change `info' etc. back
to using same-window-regexps with display-buffer, which mostly kicks the
can down the road to a later release. Or maybe we should just require
use of display-buffer-alist for this case.
Any thoughts?
