I see.  I'm afraid I don't have another synonym for the word "default".

My fear is that users might try to set `display-buffer-default-alist'
instead of `display-buffer-alist' because the "default" named variable
is most of the time the one users need to configure.

So maybe a comment in the docstring that guides users to
`display-buffer-alist' and tells them that this is the variable that
users want to change for the typical cases would be helpful?  Along with
a short explanation of "the difference" without going into too much
technical depth?
