It just occurred to me that it would be safer to leave switch-to-buffer
unchanged, and instead reinstate pop-to-buffer-same-window specifically
for the callers in question, i.e. the callers who used the
same-window-regexps/display-buffer trick. pop-to-buffer-same-window
would raise a special window for special buffers, instead of using the
selected window; s-t-b would use the selected window, as in Emacs 23.
There are only about 9 uses of the same-window-regexps + display-buffer
trick which would be changed to use pop-to-buffer-same-window, compared
to hundreds of users of switch-to-buffer. So unintended consequences
would be much less likely.
