1. I would still prefer to have the other-window version bound to
   `C-x 4 l'.

2. I think that the other-window version is far more useful than
   the same-window version.  So if other-window behavior is available
   only via a prefix arg I'd prefer that it be the other way around:
   a prefix arg uses the same window; no prefix arg uses another
   window.  (Yes, that would be a change in the default behavior.)

(Anyway, thanks for adding the other-window behavior.)
