'try-windows' sounds too active for an alist entry - we would have to
use 'windows-to-try' instead. And let's avoid 'reuse-window' in this
context - it's too ambiguous. BTW we might also want to add a similar
entry for specifying the window we want to split (which means we could
easily generalize 'display-buffer-below-selected' and
'display-buffer-at-bottom' without having to add new action functions
like 'display-buffer-at-top' ...) and should reserve an appropriate
name for that.

... and lru-visible, lru-invisible? BTW we could allow it to specify
using windows dedicated to another buffer as well.

Anywhere. Why should we impose any restrictions here - either for the
user or for the application programmer?
