It would. It could even work after entering with C-x {, and { could
work after entering with C-x ^. For example:
C-x { { { { } } ^ ^ }
C-x ^ ^ } }
could be valid sequences.

One problem is that there is currently no standard key binding for
(shrink-window). That would need to be decided upon first. Having
(enlarge-window) and not its opposite would not work well.

Even more, + (balance-windows) could be included (and possibly exit
this resize mode).
Same thing with - (shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer).

I'm willing to implement (balance-windows) as a second step if this
patch is accepted.

I nearly never `C-x -' or `C-x ^', but I could put it in once there is
an opposite to `C-x ^', for completeness. How are standard key
bindings decided upon, may I just come up with something?
