Indeed, maybe this could be customizable.  For example,
like there is the customizable variable display-buffer-alist,
a new customizable variable with a name like post-display-buffer-functions
could be used to add/remove such hooks as fit-window-to-buffer.
like temp-buffer-resize-mode does.  But this should a more general feature.
