I don't think it's particularly useful to think of unit as an empty tuple specifically, that is just an arbitrary but convenient definition for it. Really a unit type is just one t…

X does, you can use xrandr --setmonitor. For example, splitting a 5120x1440 monitor into three: xrandr --setmonitor DisplayPort-0-0 1280/297x1440/340+0+0 none xrandr --setmonitor D…
