What does your feature request improve on? Please describe.
Enabling the possibility that the user may inject a window layout as a string would make the window layouts far more flexible.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow passing a dynamic layout script as a string to the window command. This would free the user from the need to create the layout script in a temporary file to open a dynamic window.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Writing the dynamic window to a file is the only possible alternative but that's error-prone.
To implement this, add a simple detection algorithm to static std::string parseLayoutScript(), whether the passed string is already a string-encoded layout and if yes, use this as input for StyledTextFile. The latter has to be adapted to accept the file contents instead of the file name (e.g. by adding an optional parameter to the constructor (i.e. StyleTextFile(const std::string& sFileName, const std::string& sFileContents = "")). Ensure also that <this> is resolved "correctly".
