bug#16767: 24.3.50; `C-x 5 b' for special-display buffers

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q

In *scratch* evaluate:
(setq special-display-regexps '("[ ]?[*][^*]+[*]"))

C-x 5 b *scratch*

A new frame should be created, showing *scratch*.  None is.
Without making *scratch* special-display-p, *scratch* is shown,
correctly, in a separate frame.

Similarly, (pop-to-buffer "*scratch*" t) does not pop to *scratch*
in another window.  (display-buffer-other-frame "*scratch*"),
likewise, does not display the buffer in another frame.

If the buffer is not special-display-p then another new
frame/window is used, as it should be.  If it is
special-display-p then this should still be the case, but the
action instead becomes a no-op.

Special-display-p implies that the window is dedicated to the
buffer.  It does not imply that the buffer is somehow "dedicated"
to the window (such a notion does not exist).  A special-display
buffer should be shown in another frame/window when other-frame
is called for.
