1. Added a max split (before merging) of 1,000 for all commands and a global cap of 10,000 areas.
2. `t` command now applies to the current area and its further splits, instead of globally.
3. `s` command now shifts inside the last group of pending areas that have the same parent, instead of all pending areas.
4. There is no more per-layout setting of "draft mode". Every window has its own setting.

- `default_cmd`: the command to use if there is no persistent history for this layout.
- `editor`: the editor used for the layout. The default is `machi.default_editor` (or `machi.editor.default_editor`).
- `new_placement_cb`: a callback `function(c, instance, areas)` that fits new client `c` into the areas.
Returns whether the new client is in draft mode. This is a new and experimental feature.
XXX have a subsection for this.

Each drafting window is associated with a upper-left area (UL) and a bottom-right area (BR).
The geometry of the window is from the upper-left corner of the UL to the bottom-right corner of the BR.
Draft mode is suppose to work well with areas produced with `d` or `w` operation, but it is not limited to those.
To enable draft mode in a layout by default, configure the layout with a command with a leading `d`, for example, `d12210121`, or `dw66`.
Draft mode can be easily overrided by per-window settings. Resize a window to a single area to disable drafting, or across areas to enable drafting. You can also use `f` or `.` key in switcher UI to manually cycle through modes.
Draft mode is suppose to work well with grid areas (produced by `d` or `w` operations), but it is not limited to those.
Draft mode is enabled for a newly placed window when its UL and BR is in different areas.
Resize a window to a single area to disable drafting, or across areas to enable drafting.
You can also use `f` or `.` key in switcher UI to manually cycle through modes despit how the window previously spans areas.
