    Since the program takes over the terminal when running, my trusty old debugging method of adding print statements everywhere doesn't work all too well here. Therefore, I took on the side quest of creating my own version of the UNIX tool "tail" this weekend. I'll write my debugging statements to a file instead and then use this tool to monitor that file. There are ways to achieve this without writing my own tool, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the stuff I tried (I'm on Windows), so I thought it would be fun and hopefully be too big a detour to implement it myself.

    It's quite literally just the Minimum X and Y, plus the Expand With and Expand Height flags and the Expand X and Y factors. https://gitlab.com/JackRedstonia/stacks/-/blob/master/src/framework/widgets/layout_size.rs#L105
