We could do something like the untested attached .diff.  But we really
should install it only if at least two or three people confirm that it's
the expected behavior.

Note: ‘shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer’ does not re-enlarge a window
that already shows the buffer if its height is less than the specified
'window-min-height'.
