Makes sense.  In this specific case, I really do think the danger is
small, as I didn't make any changes to the implementation logic for
either of the two original functions, and the two new functions only
differ from the original ones in using `switch-to-buffer-other-window'.
That said if there is anything unclear or suspicious-looking about my
changes, please let me know and I will revert them and apply them to
master instead.

Thanks,
