I like this idea a lot. In particular the automatic window
resizability will be nice.

I do foresee some complications in the expand-propagation for more
complicated containers, though:

- Just because a tab label expands, the notebook should probably not.

- a table/grid can only expand vertically if it has an entire row of
vertically expanding children (I think ?)
