Thanks, sometime ago I asked how this would be possible to do,
and now I'm testing your patch (it missed trailing spaces on diff
context lines, but still applies without problems).

It seems to be really useful this option needs to keep only windows
implicitly created by the user, but remove windows created
automatically by mibibuffer-related commands such as the buffer
*Completions*.
