I don't think I'm bothered by quitting.  I'm bothered by some feature
calling find-file that could somehow find the file shown in a window
different from the one where the command was invoked.  Are you saying
this isn't more likely to happen than with switch-to-buffer itself?
If so, we can indeed modify find-file to use
pop-to-buffer-same-window.

Thanks.
