But (1) C-u C-x 2 and C-u C-x 3 are already taken, and (2) unlike 2 and 3, 
| and - have a visual relation with the meaning of the command.  That 
being said, I won't try to convince anyone here, again I just shared a 
part of my configuration which I thought could be useful in this 
discussion.

But then you lose the possibility to fit the window to the buffer 
vertically and horizontally (which is what the = key does in both cases), 
at least not without using some arbitrary keys for the two cases.  In 
practice I rarely adjust both the width and height of a window, but 
perhaps that's only me.

Out of curiosity: which window managers?
