I want to set the size of a frame by calling a function.
Although I have seen the following, I am not sure whether using add-to-list is
the appropriate choice. I only want the changes to happen in the working frame.
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 90))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 40))

That modifies the default frame geometry, which will get applied to
new frames. To change the size of an existing frame, use:
(modify-frame-parameters nil '((width . 90) (height . 40)))
