Provide variations of shrink-window and so on, with avy-style pointers showing the new (upcoming) window border.

It would be best to display the pointers strictly between windows but it's not always possible in GUI. Pointers likely should be placed on both sides of the window but this might not be possible with GUI either, especially with modeline. Still, even inconsistently displayed pointers would be better than nothing.

Note: I don't actually use ace-window; I voiced the idea in a chatroom and it was suggested that this would be nice to have in ace-window.
