Some modes bind `same-window-buffer-names' to nil when it makes no sense
to display the *Help* or *Info* buffer in the same window when it is
too small, thus overridding the user's settings.

IIUC, with the new window rules, the right way to do this is to bind
`display-buffer-overriding-action' to `display-buffer-pop-up-window'.
But this doesn't work as expected:

(let ((display-buffer-overriding-action '(display-buffer-pop-up-window)))
  (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*Help*"
    (princ "GNU Emacs Calculator.\n")))

It still displays the *Help* buffer in the same window when
(add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names "*Help*") is presented in .emacs.
