But there's no such function in old Emacsen nor XEmacsen.  Cf.
http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/thread=80641

The main reason using it is to pop up a frame according to
'special-display-regexps' and friends, I guess.  So, I tried
a function that emulates `pop-to-buffer-same-window':

            (error "Message being composed")))

+            (unless (get-buffer-window name t)
+              (set-window-buffer nil name))))
       (set-buffer name))
     (erase-buffer)
     (message-mode)))

Does this get a passing mark?
Tested with Emacs 23.3 and XEmacs 21.4.22.
