Re: special-display-regexps: doesn't work for normal buffers

[Richard Stallman]

    special-display-regexps doesn't seem to apply to normal buffers opened 
    with find-file (or switched to via the buffers menu).

That's right.  It has no effect on commands that always switch
to the buffer in the selected window.  This affects calls
to display-buffer and pop-to-buffer, and commands that end
by calling them.

     From the documentation of this variable, I would expect all newly 
    opened buffers to have a dedicated frame.

I see why it is not clear.  I have clarified the doc strings.
Thanks.
