Thanks, I adapted your suggestion for the docstring.

Actually, it's not about displeasing, it's about confusion.
For example, a user has a tab with the name "NEWS", switches
to another tab and kills the buffer, then quits Emacs,
and the next day opens the tab "NEWS", and it displays
a random buffer, e.g. "TODO".  So the user asks: "Why?"
With this option the answer in the same window.
