Martin's opinions are more relevant, I think.
Me, I think we have way too many display-buffer customization
machinery, so much so that we are confused ourselves what we have and
what we don't. But if others think this particular addition could be
useful, I don't mind: a defcustom doesn't by itself do any harm,
except perhaps making Emacs a tad more complex.
