Manipulating frames in a paned workspace is mostly limited to resizing, splitting, and removing frames, but tonight I thought of another operation that seems useful, swapping the positions of two adjacent sets of frames. I'll use my standard workspace as an example:
------------------------------
| 1 | 2 |5|
| | | |
| |----------| |
| | 3 | |
| | | |
| |----------|_|
| | 4 |6|
------------------------------
I might want to swap frame 4 with 3 so it moves up to be between 2 and
3, or swap frames 5 and 6[1] left twice so they are on the opposite side
of the screen.
I wonder what would be a good way to accomplish this?

[1] I suppose that for a swap to be possible, the two sets of frames being
swapped must extend through the same vertical or horizontal positions;
ie, I can't swap frame 3 left or right by itself (without some sort of
resizing or splitting of the other frames). And so if a frame like 3
is swapped left or right it would also automatically involve swapping
frames above and below it.
