Yes, it's overkill.  I can't imagine a situation when the
*Completions* buffer needs to be displayed in two windows.

I see that you proposed this as a use case that justifies
adding a WINDOW arg to 'after-display-function'.
But I already agreed about adding a new arg to
'after-display-function', and will add it anyway.
