Do you want to change this in the sense that both `switch-to-buffer' and
`pop-to-buffer-same-window' should reuse a weakly dedicated window?  In
that case I'd obviously agree with Chong that there's no real difference
between the two.

So we should make `switch-to-buffer' do what it has always done (just
that now it's more fully customizable).  I'm not sure though whether you
would want to make `display-buffer' reuse weakly dedicated windows too?
What would weak dedication be good for then?
