Let's use it. Shall we keep the semantics of t as "any window but the selected one"?

We already have "As a special case, if FRAME-PARAMETERS contains (same-window . t) ..." so should we now say "As another special case, if FRAME-PARAMETERS contains (other-window . t) ..." Also I've tried to rewrite the customization interface of `special-display-regexps' without great success - it's all too clumsy when the alternatives are nil, t, a list ... That is, we need (1) a user-friendly doc-string for this and (2) a user-friendly customization interface. martin
