Documentation! Thanks very much for the link --- I'd totally failed to
find that before.

In fact, I've just changed ioncore_winprop.lua to support this. It now
matches against all the defwinprop statements, in order, and accumulates
settings from each one. I have this:

defwinprop {
	float = true
}

defwinprop {
	class = "Google-chrome",
	float = false
}

...and it actually *works* --- windows all float by default, except
Chrome, which gets tiled.

Of course, the stock Notion only has two defwinprop statements by
default, neither of which are active on my system, so it's hardly a good
test. But the patch is enclosed...
