A, B C, & D are panes. If you start with a window with a single pane A,
and call "split-window" you get window split evenly vertically layout [A,B]:
A
B
Then if from B you call "split-window -h" you have window layout like:
[A,{B,C}]
AA
BC
If you then call split-window from C, you get a window layout like:
[A{B,[C,D]}]
AA
BC
BD
I'd like to start from layout [A,{B,C}]
AA
BC
and call "split-window -a 1" from C and get layout like [A{B,C},D]:
AA
BC
DD
The '-a #' would say go up # levels in the layout cell tree for the
specified pane, and split at that level. (likewise for the join-pane
command). With a high enough value for #, you get a true "split-window"
command.
