I know there's a feature freeze, but how about something like below to
expand a window to the whole frame and back? It's handy for many window
configurations like gdb-ui where the stack trace, for example, doesn't
always fit in the space available. Eclipse has a feature like this, when
you double click on the window tab.
Seems pretty harmless to me and any release must be a long way away.

Great!
What about binding toggle-window to 'C-x 1'?

IIUC this
(defvar last-window-configuration nil
"If `non-nil', the window configuration to which `toggle-window' restores.")
is global. With multiple frames, the effect of `toggle-window' in a
frame B for a window configuration of frame A might be unexpected.
