but what if i do want the mini-buffer window to resize? i vaguely
recall i set it before but then when calling shell-command with long
shell lines it becomes one loong line that goes out of the window.
it seems to me the current behavior is trying to use one stone for 2
birds... not orthogonal.
would be nice if emacs has anoher var some like smart-redirect-output-
