The non-interactive case is the one I had in mind.  I think we mean to
say that FORCE-SAME-WINDOW has no impact in that case and
'switch-to-buffer' should not signal an error when the window is
dedicated or the minibuffer window but try to automatically display
the buffer in a window of its choice instead.
