I am not sure what your ultimate goals are, but this particular
example would be easy if you added a custom match handler to
the neg plugin.
AFAIK scale includes a scale_match action which you could pass
'neg=1' and that would only scale neg'd windows.
This isn't quite the problem. Even if that were done, how would scale
expose a function to scale windows to the interpreter?
Through the option actions, its fairly easy to do in C so you should
be able to replicate that in a function. The initiate and terminate
functions take a list of options which can be used to control it.
See the dbus plugin for how the scale initiate function can be exposed
and be sent parameters, I think the scale example was a specific one that
David gave when announcing the match options.
