The problem is that variable name contradicts the behavior, so I'm not sure a docstring change is enough. I think this should be like `resize-mini-windows': make a new value `grow-only' (the default) which means the current behavior, and any other non-nil value would be the behavior you originally implemented, i.e. both growing and shrinking allowed.
