I think what the user normally want is to avoid messages that resizes
the miniwindow. I guess most users want to see the whole multiline
prompt.
Why not distinguish between those cases? Maybe a new value for
resize-mini-windows.
With regards to multiline prompts please remember that a "short"
prompt may wrap because it includes something that is long. That could
for example be the case when the prompt includes a file path. So
beeing able to always resize the mini window is useful whatever we do.
