And you will be wrong, at least wrt what `display-buffer' has said about its own behavior and wrt what its behavior has been. It is not a bug, according to what `display-buffer' says about itself, for it to delegate its behavior to `special-display-function'. That *is* its intended behavior when `special-display-function' is used. If it interferes with that delegation in some way, that is a bug. If `display-buffer' itself "doesn't follow the behavior described by display-buffer's docstring" then that is a bug in `display-buffer'. Of course, as Mr Emacs, you are free to change the behavior of `display-buffer', or `car', or `setq' anyway you like.
