Actually, I'd prefer to deprecate those bindings (along with C-x ^) and
replace them with a binding that allows the user to do:
M-x window-resize RET
(which we'd of course bind to some key) and then
^ ^ ^ } } } } } { { { { } } ...
or
left left left up up up up up up up
I usually don't know how by how many lines I want to expand/shrink a window,
so I typically end up doing
C-x ^ C-x ^ C-x ^
which is *really* inconvenient. So a modal interface would reduce the
number of necessary bindings to just 1, freeing the other keys for other
uses, and it would be a lot more convenient for my use cases (hopefully I'm
not the only one out there).
