now that

int bx, by, bw, bh, blw, bgw, mx, my, mw, mh, mox, moy, mow, moh, tx,
ty, tw, th, wx, wy, ww, wh;

is available in config.h, i think geometry tweaks can be handcrafted
(and thus not mainstream)

eg togglebar can be

void
togglebar(const char *arg) {
    by = -bh;
    XMoveWindow(dpy, barwin, bx, by);
    my = 0;
    mh += bh;
    lt->arrange();
}

but it won't work if the bar was on the bottom or on a different
monitor from master etc

grow/shrink can be solved eg with a mfact const

float mfact = 0.6;
DEFGEOM(right, 0, 0, sw, 0, bh, sw, sh-bh, wx, wy, mfact*sw, wh,
mx+mw, wy, ww-mw, wh, wx, wy, ww, wh)
DEFGEOM(bottom, 0, 0, sw, 0, bh, sw, sh-bh, wx, wy, sw, mfact*wh,
mx, wy+mh, ww, wh-mh, wx, wy, ww, wh)

void growm() {
    mfact += 0.01;
    lt->arrange();
}

imho there is no possible generic solution for these if we allow
generic defgeom setting.

so i vote for either no mainstream solution or restrict possible geoms
in some way.
