What was that hook called?  I think we first have to decide whether we
want to inhibit such shrinks and fits for any display operation or only
those administrated by 'display-buffer'.  Then we'd either install that
inhibiting thing via 'window--display-buffer' (where we work on alist so
we can decide who overrides whom) or directly in 'fit-window-to-buffer'
(where we cannot discriminate any more whether an application very
urgently wants to impose its behavior and we always rely on the user's
setting).
