[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi Emacs,

I noticed that in order to open url-foo in a new buffer, I'd need to
call `(eww "url-foo" 4)`.  I understand that 4 is the universal
argument, but it looks cryptic (unless used interactively).  

Find my suggestion attached.  I took the opportunity to simplify the
underlying logic.

I don't think that's correct?  Then `M-x eww' in a different buffer will
generate a new name.

So I've now fixed this in a different way in Emacs 29 (and renamed the
arguments to be more sensible).
