I think it makes a lot more sense to consider that inhibit-small-window
is true by default.  Or, ot put it more explicitly, I think that the
solution is to let the user specify that his small windows are
dedicated, along the lines of Martin's
make-small-windows-softly-dedicated (tho it's be better to put this info
in display-buffer-alist, so that windows don't get marked as dedicated
just because some resize temporarily made them small, for example).
