bug#43572: Feature request: make it possible to choose whether the first lines of the minibuffer should be displayed instead of the last ones

[Gregory Heytings]

Hi Stefan and Eli,

Thanks for your comments.

This feature request can be closed.  I found a solution that works without 
changing anything in Emacs core.

I still think that the changes introduced by Eli in xdisp.c should be 
reverted.  They are not a solution for the problem, and they change a 
long-standing behavior of a central part of Emacs, which might break or 
cause other problems with third-party packages that do unimaginable things 
with miniwindows.
