Thanks, some suggestions to simplify its usage:

1. avoid using dotted pair notation that often causes problems;

2. instead of asking the user to invent a value to use for the selected window,
   allow omitting it in this case, by reversing WIN and DIR, for example:

   display-buffer-in-direction (direction DIR WIN)
   display-buffer-in-direction (direction up main)
   display-buffer-in-direction (direction up) -- by default means
                                                 from the selected window

PS: what about 'resize-to-fit'?  I guess it's impossible to implement it
as an alist, because currently fit-window-to-buffer/preserve-size usually
are used as an argument of the macro 'with-displayed-buffer-window'.
