I have an example only for 'fit-window-to-buffer':

  (pop-to-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*edit string*")
                 '(display-buffer-below-selected
                   (window-height . (lambda (window)
                                      (fit-window-to-buffer window nil 10)))))

I wonder why other 'display-buffer-*' function wouldn't need the same?
