I know the feature. It doesn't sound that useful for dwm users,
because I doubt many of us routinely move windows by dragging
anyway, and assigning windows to different tags is pretty fast and
straightforward providing you're comfortable doing window management
from a keyboard. Also of course the paradigm of having multiple tags
per window is broken somewhat by this, as is selecting multiple
tags. If I have a window in tag 2 & tag 3, and I currently have tags
3 & 4 active, and I 'warp' the window, what tag should it get? 3? 4?
5? I know some people don't use tags this way, though.
