Ooh, Smartypants! Clearly you just want to be snarky and not read what I wrote, which is that **when `display-buffer' uses `special-display-function'** there is no such restriction. `display-buffer' essentially delegates behavior in that context. A one-liner summary of what `display-buffer' does will not and cannot, of course, go into such things. The full doc for it does refer to `special-display-buffer-names', however, which refers to `special-display-function'. And that doc makes it quite clear: ;; Emacs 22 `C-h v special-display-buffer-names' ... In the second case, FUNCTION is called with BUFFER as the first argument, followed by the OTHER-ARGS--it can display BUFFER in any way it likes. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All this is done by the function found in `special-display-function'. There are no limits, beyond its arity and return value, on what `special-display-function' does.
