... because I'm using 'temp-buffer-resize-mode'.  But IIRC (Juri likely
knows better) completions windows are traditionally fit to their buffer
so people who never use 'temp-buffer-resize-mode' would now be surprised
to not see their completions window fit.  So while we probably can't do
what you propose above, we should be able to _not_ fit the window when
the alist already provides an explicit height argument as in your case.
