   Usually when I delete 1 of 3 windows, I usually end up resizing the 2
   resulting windows to be equal size again.  I therefor would vote for
   \C-x 0 to resize all remaining windows to be *equally* sized.

   A "resize-windows-to-ratio <x> <y> ... <z>" command would also be
   useful here for adjusting the relative size of more than two windows.

A command that declared the maximum size buffer that a window needs
would be useful in these kinds of situations, and wouldn't require the
user to resize the windows manually as often.  Some modes might set
the size limit automatically.

   In addition to the above, I would also like to see an "absolute
   addressed" window-selection command.  Right now, one has to \C-x o to
   the desired window.  A "goto-window <buffer-name>" command would be
   handy.  Or perhaps a window-number on the mode-line and a "\C-x j <n>"
   command to get to it?

Me too.  I like the window number idea.
