My two cents:  I think TIP #147 is an excellent idea,
and see no problem with the specification, which is
short and sweet.  Do you have an implementation?

This one doesn't seem fully-cooked yet to me.  It's not
clear from the TIP how the specification interacts with the
current [grid] semantics.

Suggestion: recast the specification as a patch to the
"GRID ALGORITHM" section of the grid(n) manpage.

An implementation would also be nice.

On the shrinking issue, either of #1 or #2 seem sensible.
I don't like option #3.  It introduces a discontinuity:
rows with -weight 0 do not stretch or shrink, except when
all rows have -weight 0, in which case they do shrink.

Option #3 would also make it impossible to specify a
layout that's always clipped (sometimes this _is_ the
right thing to do).  If you want stuff to shrink, specify
a nonzero -weight.  TIP #147 will make this easier, so
laziness is no excuse :-)

I'm still opposed to this one, on the grounds that people
might actually use it.

Make a debugging package if you like, but please let's keep this
out of the core.
