> Maybe temporary buffers should resize windows by default?
> Then such an option should be able to override the default behavior.

We could write a function similar to 'completions--fit-window-to-buffer'
(do you know what the &rest _ args there are used for?) like

(defun maybe-fit-window-to-buffer (&optional window)
  "Fit WINDOW to buffer if 'temp-buffer-resize-mode' is on."
  (when temp-buffer-resize-mode
    (resize-temp-buffer-window window)))

and use that in all occasions where we want to resize a window outside
the scope of 'with-temp-buffer-window' when 'temp-buffer-resize-mode'
was turned on by the user (leaving alone the behavior of the earlier
mentioned 're-builder' etc. which apparently work without complaints).
