I tried to do this in bug#17809, but stumbled on the problem
that resizing the window after filling is not supported
by display-buffer actions alist.

Maybe filling the buffer is possible in QUIT-FUNCTION, but instead of
`with-temp-buffer-window', `minibuffer-completion-help' uses
`with-output-to-temp-buffer' that has no QUIT-FUNCTION arg.
