Indeed.  A good way would be to provide a way to override pop-up-windows
(both nil and t) in special-display-regexps.  We already have
(same-window . t), so we only need to add the other half.

But maybe the user would like to follow the application's special
handling, even tho she modified her pop-up-windows for other reasons.
I think it's much better to use 2 separate variables, where the
user-controlled var is never modified by Elisp code.
