message:
  Optionally avoid that switching to previous or next buffer shows that buffer 
twice.
  
  * window.el (switch-to-visible-buffer): New option.
  (switch-to-prev-buffer, switch-to-next-buffer): Observe
  switch-to-visible-buffer.  Make sure that checking for a window
  showing a buffer already is done on the same frame.
  
  * windows.texi (Window History): Describe new option
  switch-to-visible-buffer.

+By default @code{switch-to-prev-buffer} and @code{switch-to-next-buffer}

+If this variable is address@hidden, @code{switch-to-prev-buffer} and
