One could presumably write such a thing using the rio filesystem
already... in fact when I start plan 9 I get a stripe with "winwatch
-e winwatch" in it and 3 sub-rio sessions that fill in the rest of the
screen, but some of the offsets are currently hard-coded  and thusly
not dynamic at all to other changes.

It's nearly virtual desktop space.  (and winwatch only watches the rio
sessions, not the windows within them, good old private namespaces win
again for me here.)

Within a rio session I find I often want to expand a window to fill
the whole thing in as well.

Rio provides a good bit of mechanism, just not a ton of policy...
that's up to people to customize for themselves.  I once thought I had
a way to improve rio, I was wrong and Russ pointed out a way to do the
things I wanted to do with the filesystem.
