There is `maximize-window'.
If you want to work on a patch that uses `maximize-window' in places

But I think ̀delete-other-windows' is fine in most cases.

Yep, why not.
I'm archiving Eric's patch for now. Let's raise this issue again if we
can more precisely define what's wrong with the current behavior.
