I'm wondering whether there should be a separate
`display-buffer-command' that's bound to `C-x 4 C-o' with its own
display rules.  :-)  That is, when the user is using this command
explicitly, then it's not obvious that the user wants the same rules as
with the "automatic" display-buffer stuff (popping from *grep* buffers
and the like).
