I hate those for 2 reasons:
- they're very limited (can't be used to say "always in another window",
  or "maybe not the same window, but at least the same frame", ...).
- they're currently abused by elisp code.

This is exactly the kind of evil I don't want: such variables should
only ever be modified by the user.  And `add-hook' is an abuse here as
well since same-window-regexps is not a hook.
