I was looking for something a bit more dynamic.  Not dependent on
the current contents, but based simply on which buffer was current.
I avoid the mouse so clicking on a tree buffer's mode line is not
attractive.  I have keys to navigate to the various tree buffers.
What I would like is that as so as I move my attention of a given
tree buffer it should maximize.  When I navigate to another tree
buffer that one should maximize.  And when I navigate back to an
edit buffer I would like all tree buffers to revert to their default
layout.
