You're confused: it's exactly the same. `display-buffer-alist` is
nothing but a replacement for `special-display-buffer-names`.
You can do exactly the same with either of them.
We had to introduce `display-buffer-alist` to replace
`special-display-buffer-names` only for "minor" consistency reasons, to
better interact with other ways to specify how to display a buffer.
