I wouldn't say that I really like the prompt, but it could be useful to
someone to see the bindings available to them, when we're sure it's
going to fit.

I do think we should avoid binding commands under C-x 4 where the
versions under C-x p would already display in another window -- I think
it is potentially quite confusing to have bindings with identical
behaviour under both C-x 4 p and C-x p.

But that means we need the defcustom, because a user could use
display-buffer-alist to change which commands under C-x p will use
another window.
