Recently, `find-file' was changed to use `pop-to-buffer-same-window'
instead of `switch-to-buffer':

which has the (intended) effect that

M-: (set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) t) <RET>
C-x C-f some-file <RET>

pops another window instead of failing with "Cannot switch buffers in
a dedicated window".

However, the ido replacement, `ido-find-file', does not call
`find-file' but `find-file-noselect', so it fails.
