What would be the point of supporting ffap-require-prefix when you
call ffap-other-window?  That variable controls whether to invoke
ffap-file-finder, which is not suitable for -other-window commands, I
think?  That is why, AFAIU, when not called interactively,
find-file-at-point doesn't call ffap-file-finder at all, and therefore
there's no point in heeding ffap-require-prefix.  Right?
