They are identical for the single-frame/single-window case.  The main
difference is that `switch-to-buffer' doesn't care whether the selected
window is weakly dedicated.

If this refers to the two cases cited above, then I think that the
interactive use of `switch-to-buffer' is "the first case" and should not
call `pop-to-buffer-same-window'.
