What precisely failed? =A0I didn't look at it but it hooks in at a lowe= r
level (namely that of `display-buffer-function') so it should still wor= k
with Emacs 24.

Elisp code should not do that. =A0`display-buffer-alist' is reserved fo= r
users as in

(customize-set-variable
=A0'display-buffer-alist '((".*" . (display-buffer-same-w= indow . nil))))

Unfortunately, so far there's no common agreement on what the ALIST
argument of `display-buffer-same-window' is supposed to accomplish.
