Why the default is `post-forward'? Its formatting "name|bar/mumble"
is too confusing, especially for newbies that might have a hard time
understanding what does this `|' mean that usually indicates the
logical `or' operator.
OTOH, `post-forward-angle-brackets' with "name<bar/mumble>"
is backward-compatible with the naming standard "name<2>"
so it doesn't break customizations in display-buffer-alist
that contains such regexps as "\\*Buffer\\*<[^>]+>".
