Learn "gaps edge_gaps <on|off|toggle>".

When yes, the old behaviour of adding half the inner gap around each
view is used.

When no, don't add any gap when an edge of the view aligns with the
workspace. The result is inner gap only between views, not against the
workspace edge.

The algorithm is not perfect because it means the extra space is
distributed amongst edge-aligned views only, but it's simple, looks good
and it works.

+**gaps** edge_gaps <on|off|toggle>::
+        Whether or not to add gaps between views and workspace edges if amount of
+        inner gap is not zero. When _no_, no gap is added where the view is aligned to
+        the workspace edge, effectively creating gaps only between views.

 **gaps** <amount>::
         Sets default _amount_ pixels as the gap between each view, and around each
         workspace.
