Well, sorry, I hacked it untested into my mail. I have two
similiar definitions as a sample in hg tip.

However, I pretty much recommend not using shrink/grow in this
way, but to stick to some usual geometries, with a bigger and
with a smaller master area, and maybe a geometry with a hidden
bar.

Kind regards,
