Re: info-look.el bug

[Richard Stallman]

When you want to switch to a buffer and let display-buffer choose
where it should appear, you use pop-to-buffer.  I think it is a bug
for switch-to-buffer-other-window to obey same-window-buffer-names
or same-window-regexps.  So I think this change is called for.

However, it may be that some existing calls to
switch-to-buffer-other-window would need to be changed to use
pop-to-buffer.
