I didn't know that, so it has the default value nil.  Reading its docs I
get the impression that I want that to be t instead, and to have it
effective, I'd also need to set `window-combination-limit' to nil.

But with

  (setq window-combination-resize t
        window-combination-limit nil) ;; was window-size before

and a single 269x82 window, I still get a horizontal split first
(forming a horizontal combination IIUC) and then a vertical split.

Bye,
Tassilo
