I simply copied the definition from 'display-buffer-alist' which is an
option.  Your change is correct.

But I'm not 100% convinced

- that we really never want to set this buffer-locally or globally

- and we consequently should name it differently.

Juri or Stefan might have better ideas.

It certainly won't harm.

Thanks, martin
