Ther could be a variable (e.g. "command-name-default-discard-output")
which controls that behavior, and C-u could invert the sense of that
default.
When _not_ discarding output, I think in general it should (1) always
make a new buffer (to allow convenient use of multiple simultaneous
background commands), and (2) maybe bury the buffer at first.
That might satisfy all the viewpoints expressed thus far
(you: default nil, C-u for occasional gui app, me: default t, C-u for
debugging).
