Hello,

When I work with several monitors I would like that when, in a frame,
I run a command which opens a new frame, this frame is created on the
same monitor as that of the current frame, which is not always the
case.

Function make-frame-on-current-monitor exists to meet this use case
but it is not really easy to use interactively. Variable
pop-up-frame-function can be set to use a function different from
make-frame for creating a new frame in display-buffer-pop-up-frame.

I have used pop-up-frame-function to use make-frame-on-current-monitor
instead of make-frame. That works fine but there is no easy way to do
the same with special-display-popup-frame or make-frame-command.

IMHO it would be worth to use such a variable in those functions too.
