A special handling of prefix commands could be added to the
implementation of 'C-h k'.
Then instead of saying that the command is 'find-file-other-window',
it could say: "the command is like 'find-file' but displays the buffer
in another window."

Its effect should remain the same (displaying the output buffer in
another window), but the command namespace will be cleaner by removing
duplicated commands with '-other-window' and '-other-frame' suffixes.
Also it should allow the users to add the effect of displaying the command
output buffer in another window to more commands easily, by just adding
a key binding to the existing non-window command in the 'C-x 4' keymap.
Anyway, before changing the 'C-x 4' keymap we could try this approach only
on project-specific submap 'C-x 4 p' to see how well it works.
