That's what I actually meant and what `dired-pop-to-buffer' already does.

I think the current behavior of `dired-pop-to-buffer' is ideal in this
regard. We just have to generalize it and move its logic to window.el
to allow other applications to use the same logic.

We should not decide on behalf of the user what window space is wasted
and fill it with some arbitrary buffers.
