[dwm] rationale for resizehints=False?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could explain the rationale for
introducing the option to set resizehints=False. I find that having a
single option isn't quite what I want. I want either resizehints{x,y}
or resizehints{in,out}.

E.g. suppose the following tiled layout:
        +------+---+
        | | |
        | +---+
        | | |
        | +---+
        | | |
        +------+---+
I have the inside border
               +
               |
               +---+
               |
               +---+
               |
               +
set up to follow resize hints (this packs more text onscreen if my
display's number of rows is not a multiple of 3). The outside border
        +------+---+
        | |
        | +
        | |
        | +
        | |
        +------+---+
does not follow resize hints, because I have them set up to be
rendered exactly 1px offscreen (I don't want to see them).

Any reason why the current setup is all-or-nothing?
