It shouldn't because, as Anders remarked, it already worked this way in
Emacs 23.  So I tend to install this on Emacs-25.

Taken literally we'd then have to run ‘window-configuration-change-hook’
also when we resize windows without resizing the frame.  In particular,
we'd then have to run it in prepare_menu_bars and in redisplay_internal.
Do we really want to do that?  If so, we could easily obsolete
‘window-size-change-functions’ because then every case would have been
already covered by ‘window-configuration-change-hook’ before.
