That'd be overkill, IMO.  The single command is already borderline
(since dedicated windows were not introduced as an interactive
feature, but rather as a means for Lisp programs to control
display-buffer's otherwise "wild West" type behavior).  Having two
commands is completely overboard.  Let's not take this ad absurdum.

(Of course, you can always have a special command in your local init
file, if you need them both.  Here we are talking about what the
majority of Emacs users will need.)
