I have no time to look into that and I'd rather wait for after-21.4 to
integrate any such functionality. In any case, I do use a setup whee this
would be useful, so here are my comments:
- if special-display-buffer-names or special-display-regexp specifies
specific sizes, it should still be obeyed.
- resizing existing frames is risky: you want to make sure you don't undo
what the user did manually. So I'd refrain from doing it except for
frames where the user specifically asked for it. Maybe you could allow
resizing existing frames when they get deiconified, but even that sounds
risky.
- resizing frames showing the content of a file is probably not
a great idea. More generally, if the elisp code doesn't call
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer, it's likely that the frame's size
shouldn't be changed either.
- don't enlarge the frame to be larger than the user's screen (which might
be significantly smaller than what x-display-pixel-height claims).
