`switch-to-buffer' has a specific window show a specific buffer.  The
user cannot change that via options.

`pop-to-buffer-same-window' tries to show a specific buffer in a
specific window.  But the user can change that via options.  In
particular, the user can decide to override the splitting behavior,
dedicatedness of windows, ...  All `bs-cycle-next' has to do is call
it via

(pop-to-buffer-same-window next nil 'bs-cycle-next)
