Because I want a guaranteed new frame with the explicitly specified buffer.

I assume this is also an issue for child frames--make_frame doesn't
distinguish during buffer selection?

The following works but is wonky (kind of annoying) because it first shows
a non-hidden buffer, and then switches to the one I really want (note that
string pixel width is just an example that we all have at hand):

(with-selected-frame (make-frame)
  ;; (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)) ; might need based on
platform
  (switch-to-buffer " *string-pixel-width*"))
