Yes, I believe that use case is what many users will enjoy and intend to use
the panel for. Well, for the ones that would enable floating.

I'm not suggesting the following should be implemented soon, nor am I sure if
it should be at all, but I think it is worth at least mentioning once.

So since we're on the topic, I do want to mention that I suspect there is an
interaction with whether the panel is maximized under Always Visible.

I think the traditionally expected behavior of an (unmaximized?) panel (on the
bottom of the screen) is to close the space between the bottom of the screen
and a tiled window/maximized window. Otherwise, float with the usual margin(s)
between the panel and the (bottom) of the screen.

I understand this might flip half of the new panel code, but it could resolve
the padding problem (for the probably less than common case of a non-maximized
panel). Obviously, the maximized panel remains the same and probably has no
distinct other way of being implemented other than the current one. But for an
unmaximized panel gliding from floating to the bottom and meeting with the
screen (but retaining corners), whilst snapping windows to the top of the panel
(as though the panel were of its padding-less floating height), it seems
beneficial. But now the code for it seems to have a lot of arbitrary and
unpredictable behaviors.

Niccolo may have discussed the above in one of his panel videos, but I can't
remember, so my apologies if it seemed to be technically impossible.
