It is working yes, but it is not the same behavior as in emacs-24.3 and
previous version (I use this code since long time now).
When modifying this it seems the window is growing on top to leave place
on bottom.
When there is too much lines, I expect (and IMO it is the right thing to
do) the top of the miniwindow invisible but the bottom (where the
y-or-n-p prompt is) _visible_.

What are these limits (float and integer) ?
