The behavior specified by display-buffer's doc string is just
whatever `special-display-function' does - nothing more or less,
when `special-display-function' is used.

So there is *no* behavior for `special-display-function' for
to follow, other than its own behavior.  `display-buffer' says
nothing about `display-buffer' behavior in this case - it
says only that it delegates `display-buffer' behavior to
`special-display-function'.  That's the point of providing
for `special-display-function'.
