... which, unfortunately, will not re-run ‘fit-window-to-buffer’ but
just use its earlier computed values.  Theoretically, 'redisplay'
could check the 'preserve-size' parameter of each window and try to
preserve the text height when resizing the mode line.  But I wouldn't
want to think of all the tricky details of such an approach.
