Indeed, but that feature is already present on C-x C-{+-0}.  And I don't 
know any other program that changes its frame size when a zoom factor is 
applied.

What the existing C-x C-{+-0} does is what C-{+-0} does in Atom.  What the 
proposed C-x C-M-{+-0} does is what C-{+-0} does in Visual Studio.

As I said, I would not object to make this configurable with a defcustom, 
which would default to "do not resize".  Would you agree with that?
