Hi there,
Before we have a single entry to control display-buffer now it seems it
has become complicated:
display-buffer-overriding-action
display-buffer-alist
display-buffer-base-action
display-buffer-fallback-action
Does this complexity offer a superset of display-buffer-function? For
example, what is a most reliable way to make display-buffer a noop?
Thanks,
Leo

The most reliable way is by let-binding
display-buffer-overriding-action.
This should only be done if you don't want your users to be able to
customize display-buffer-alist so as to display the buffer somewhere.

Maybe calling it a superset would be too much, since you can do
everything possible with elisp with `display-buffer-function'. The
point is that you can IMO do most common stuff more easily.
Did you read (elisp) Display Action Functions? It's worth reading and
trying to understand, although it's indeed quite complex and abstract.
Using `display-buffer-alist' is quite comfortable once you got used to
it.
Regards,
Michael.
