It's possible.

I fully agree with you. But `quit-window' does exactly that when the
window is not dedicated:
(switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))))
This is the painful default behavior of `Info-exit' when you do not use
a separate frame (try with Emacs -Q, split the *scratch* window, invoke
Info, and quit - you won't get the "previously selected buffer" as
promised by the doc-string of `Info-mode').
