Documentation

Whether to forgo showing a buffer that's already being displayed.

But only in the selected window. This is intended as a crutch for non-user third-party code that might be slow to adopt the display-buffer function variant available to all buffer-display options starting in ERC 5.6. Users with rare requirements, like wanting to change the window buffer to something other than the one being processed, should see the Info node (erc) display-buffer.
