There's always a corner case where you can't (unless you use zero-size
windows).

What I wanted (and still want) to express is that the the cases where we
really _have to_ delete windows because there's no other choice are very
rare.  And in those cases we shouldn't care too much, IMHO.

This would be a solution, indeed.  For Emacs 25.1, though ;-)
