When enabled, these commands will reuse the *Help* window. I see help-function-def--button-function now uses pop-to-buffer-same-window. Should other button types do the same? Such as help-function-cmacro, help-variable-def, help-face-def. BTW, I can't find a discussion about scratch-buffer, so I'll ask here: when I accidentally delete the *scratch* buffer, the first thing I do is 'C-x b *scratch* RET' and discover an empty buffer. I wonder would it help to add a '("\*scratch\*\\'" . scratch-buffer) to 'auto-mode-alist' that will recreate it after switching to a new buffer with this name?
