This sounds wrong.  Why not change the rest of the code to use
`pop-to-buffer-same-window` instead?

AIUI Dmitry made this change purely so that project-switch-to-buffer
would work with project-other-*-command.  So are you suggesting that
project-switch-to-buffer use pop-to-buffer-same-window?

I think that would not be ideal, because for users with
switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions set to nil globally, it is good
that switch-to-buffer unconditionally uses the selected window, and it
seems that project-switch-to-buffer should be consistent with
switch-to-buffer.

Yes.

`pop-to-buffer-same-window` uses the selected window "unconditionally"
in 99.9763% (seat of pants estimate) of the cases.  And the here patch
shows that we don't want this code to use the selected window
unconditionally in 100% of the cases, so `pop-to-buffer-same-window`
seems exactly like what we need.
