Hum... Thanks for the suggestion, but I imagine that rio, when a
user resizes with the mouse a window, does not send commands, pixel
by pixel, to the window for resizing but call the very code called
for the command passed via wctl?

Actually, I will not use neither wctl, nor cons or mouse, since the
window is just for the graphical display. I will not fork either a
process and will just draw using the $wsys hierachy (since the
namespace is the one of METAFONT and the particular window files
in the namespace will be the ones of the shell where mf was called).
