        (Presumably, it’d be the same if it’s the font that gets
        resized, as per #17414.)

        FWIW, I was about to suggest such a feature myself, even though
        I never use EWW in non-80-column windows at all.

        For me, one of the uses would be redisplaying HTML documents
        after tweaking the renderer’s own code, especially where such
        documents are actually dynamic, and reloading them is bound to
        produce different results every time.

        Besides, this change looks like one step towards solving #17414.
