I wouldn't object. The functionality is obviously needed to get rid of
all those
(add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names (purecopy "*Python*"))
;;;###autoload (add-hook 'same-window-buffer-names (purecopy "*scheme*"))
but if there are any doubts about too many pop-to-buffer-... or
display-buffer-... definitions please let me know.
