Re: minibuffer at the top

[Richard Stallman]

    By default the minibuffer window is at the bottom of a frame (other
    windows on top the minibuffer). Is it possible to put the minibuffer at
    the top (other windows below)?

I am neither for nor against this idea.  If a substantial fraction of
users would like it, then we might want to do it.

It will not be quite as simple as one might think.  There are places
in the code that assume that the minibuffer comes after main window.
