There are too many commands that display a new buffer, and don't have the duplicate name with the `-other-window' suffix, and adding more redundant commands will increase the mess. I don't suggest removing `-other-window' from the existing basic commands, but suggest not to add it to minor commands like `find-library' . -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
