The manual as it is now
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Indirect-Buffers.html
it creates wrong  expectations
regarding M-x clone-indirect-buffer RET
and 'C-x 4 c'
Not that we have two commands doing the same due to default values to
DISPLAY-FLAG but that one will create a cloned buffer in the same window
and the other in another window.
