OK, I'll keep that in mind.  But the fact that Emacs itself has still not been
able to do this (calculate the effective display dimensions for a buffer), does
not encourage me to strike out in that wilderness.

If I had more time I would perhaps experiment.  But fit-frame is something that
works well, and I don't want to fiddle with it too much without a clear idea
about a simple solution/improvement.
