The intention was to have such behavior:
1. after the first call that adds 1 line to the output buffer,
   resize the displayed buffer to 1 line height;
2. after the second call grow the output window height to 2 lines,
   it seems fit-window-to-buffer should do this;
3. after 10th call limit the window height to 10 lines only,
   so later calls should not increase the output window height
   more than 10 lines.

But I can't find a setting for this.
