Re: [elpa] master b843370: * packages/other-frame-window/other-frame-window.el: New single-file package.

If I do C-x 5 f, a new frame opens if needed (if I have only one frame to begin with).

But if I do C-x 9 f, the buffer opens in a second frame only if I have 2 frames to begin with. If I had just one frame open, C-x 9 f seems to do nothing. Is that by design? If not, I can debug my config.

Good question.  I think it was a mistake.  I probably started to write
"FIXME:" because I wanted to document the problem of the "dwim"
commands, which are somewhat ugly, but then I went ahead and wrote
those dwim commands and decided it wasn't that bad.  So the end result
is a doc that isn't really a FIXME but which starts with "FIXME:".

I like to write minor modes such that they always begin by cleaning up
first and then, if requested, adding what needs to be added.
I think in the case of global hooks it makes no difference, but for
a few other cases it avoids adding stuff twice or having to check
whether the mode was already enabled or something.
