In the manual M-x clone-indirect-buffer RET isnt supposed to open the
clone buffer in another winduw. clone-indirect-buffer-other-window
should do that.
But both do the same thing (opening clone buffer in a new window) in
my Emacs 27.1

From the doc string:
DISPLAY-FLAG non-nil means show the new buffer with ‘pop-to-buffer’.
This is always done when called interactively.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I missed that. Thanks.
I think that the manual as it is now(1) it creates different
expectations. Not that we have two commands doing the same. I send a
report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with M-x report-emacs-bug . I think it
was sent. (fingers crossed)
Can 'M-x clone-indirect-buffer' be given NEWNAME and DISPLAY-FLAG
arguments ?
