Description

I was peeking through the tmux 3.0 changelogs and this entry caught my eye:

* Add support for percentage sizes for resize-pane ("-x 10%"). Also change
  split-window and join-pane -l to accept similar percentages and no longer
  document -p.

If that is what I think it is, it would be interesting to have support for such relative sizes in tmuxp.
