Well, how about explaining why this variable was introduced, for starters?

This is different from the case where W is a vertical > combination of three live windows W1, W3 and W4. Sorry, I don't get the drift. What do you mean by "resizing W"? how can one resize "a vertical combination" of 2 or 3 windows, which AFAIU is just a node in the window tree, not a live window that is displayed on a frame? I mean, I can resize W1, W2, or W3, but how do I resize their combination?
