name is created. The major mode for the new buffer is set according to
the variable @code{default-major-mode}, @xref{Auto Major Mode}.
+When @code{enable-recursive-minibuffers} is non-@code{nil} and the
+selected window is either the minibuffer window or is dedicated to its
+buffer (@pxref{Dedicated Windows}), @code{switch-to-buffer} calls
+@code{pop-to-buffer} (see below) to display the buffer in some other
+window.

Normally the specified buffer is put at the front of the buffer list
(both the selected frame's buffer list and the frame-independent buffer
list). This affects the operation of @code{other-buffer}. However, if
this simply does @code{goto-char}.
