Oh come now:  Emacs doesn't let you replace the minibuffer either.  If
there is no file window open, then you would get a fresh one, just as
if you had clicked button-3.  Otherwise, the previously selected file
window would be covered with a new one.

I wasn't suggesting that anyone start hacking on it, only pointing out
that there are alternatives to the current style interface.

(p.s. I typed this with vi, so there. :-)
