Dear Emacs developers and users,

Has any consideration been given to having the option of displaying the
minibuffer window somewhere other than the bottom of the frame?  For
example, if I have a frame split horizontally with bufferA on top and
bufferB at the bottom, and I do an isearch in bufferA, it might (arguably)
be nice to have the minibuffer window appear below bufferA's mode line, as
opposed to below bufferB's mode line.

I have found this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-03/msg00114.html, and I
am aware of the possibility of moving a separate minibuffer frame to
achieve something similar, but I am specifically curious about loosening
the "if a frame has a minibuffer window, the minibuffer window is displayed
at the bottom of the frame" assumption.

Please Cc me on the replies.

Thank you in advance!
