Changing the height of stacked windows? #100

I'm wondering if bug.n is capable of changing the height of the stacked windows, or if the feature could be implemented. Similar to how bug.n can change the width of the master window, I'd love to be able to change where the stacked windows are split so that one can be taller than the other. For example:

Equal stacked window height       Unequal stacked window height
┌───────────────────────┐         ┌───────────────────────┐
│           │           │         │           │           │
│           │     2     │         │           │           │
│           │           │         │           │     2     │
│     1     │───────────│         │     1     │           │
│           │           │         │           │           │
│           │     3     │         │           │───────────│
│           │           │         │           │     3     │
└───────────────────────┘         └───────────────────────┘

As far as I'm aware, bug.n only allows them to be the same height.

Currently, you cannot individually size stacked windows.

In your example it might be possible to implement, but with an indefinite number of windows residing in the stack it would be cumbersome to implement this functionality; any window in the stack would have to be resizable the same way with a vast amount of edge cases.

The current tiled layout is fixed in functionality with adjustable parameters, therewith dynamic; it would be another thing to have a layout, which itself would be dynamic as in wmii in contrast to dwm.

In any case I myself will not endeavour in this adventure (simply no time).
