But as for `display-buffer-alist', it looks hard to customize so as to make it one's favorite. In fact, it's hard (or impossible?) to make it behave as exactly the same as old Emacsen. I might get to like it, but my interest is not necessarily in window.el and I have no time to debug it thoroughly for the moment. I was only made to waste time to work around[1]. I think it was not too late to have installed the new feature to the trunk after having provided an option that enables a user to make it work like old Emacsen.
