>           (b2 (get-buffer-create "*b2*"))
>           (action '(display-buffer-in-side-window
>                     (dedicated . t)
>                     (side . left))))
>       (display-buffer b1 action)
>       (sit-for 1)
>       (display-buffer b2 action))
> 
> It puts b1 in a side window, then reuses that side window for b2.
> When we display b2, the window loses the strong dedication it had to b1
> despite the display action for b2 including a request for a
> dedicated window.
> 
> I'd expect the window to be dedicated to b2 at the end of the
> above snippet.
