In Juri's `switch-to-buffer-other-window' case such options would be
useless anyway.

Applications that do care enough should either (1) use `split-window'
and `set-window-buffer' or (2) provide a separate customizable option
like `foo-pop-up-windows' and let the user decide whether this should
pop up a new window and where.
