The concept of transaction says that wehn you reach the end, you check
that things went right and if they don't you revert to the start state.
So yes, obviously it'd internally use something similar to
set-window-configuration.
> Wasn't that something you wanted to avoid?
No. I did mention that its use to resurrect a deleted window should be
avoided because it may not work any more at some point in the future.
But we're here only talking about resizing windows, no deletion.

Yes, that'd probably be a different function from the one I suggested,
tho it could/would probably use the one I suggested for part of its work.

At the user-level, it's pretty clear: no function resizing should ever
delete a window, resize a window below window-min-height or
window-min-width or ignore window-size-fixed.

It's easy to provide that behavior from outside when needed.

Yes, it could.

That is the tricky part of th algorithm, indeed.

Yes, it's part of my working assumption.
