CTRL-W_= with quickfix window?

Futzing around with the quickfix (QF) window, I found that using
CTRL-W= ("make the windows the same size", ":help CTRL-W_=") ignores
the quickfix window in its size calculations. Is there some option I
can set to just treat it like other windows? I wasn't able to turn up
anything in my search.

The aforementioned help says "Make all windows (almost) equally high
and wide", and I'm not sure whether the parenthetical "almost" is
supposed to apply to the "all" or the "equally". I can understand
that, if it goes with "equally", that some may be one line
larger/smaller than average to spread out the remainder when dividing
the screen up. However that would suggest that the ^W= applies to
*all* windows, not *almost all*.

I just keep getting snagged when I maximize my edit window and it
scrunches the QF window to one line, but I then have to manually
re-increase the size of the QF window if I want to re-see context.
