No: `display-buffer-overriding-action` is for use only in exceptional
circumstances because it overrides all other preferences expressed by
the rest of the code and by the user.  So it should be used only in
commands which implement an explicit request by the user to override
those other parameters (e.g. in commands like `other-window-prefix`).
