Ideally, yes.  But, as I said before, we first need a mechanism that
allows us to establish a connection between such windows and the
minibuffer (we could try to fit a window to its buffer _after_ resizing
the minibuffer, but it's obvious how fragile such a solution would be).

FAIK the *Completions* windows and the minibuffer are independent from
each other.  So we have to find a mechanism to tell the window
management part what to do.  Fixing window sizes in some "lax" fashion
is one way to do that.
