Implicit container example

In some cases, move needs to implicitly create a container to fulfill your command.

Given this layout
```
h_tiles
├── window 1
├── window 2 (focused)
└── window 3
```
move up will result in the following layout
```
v_tiles
├── window 2 (focused)
└── h_tiles
    ├── window 1
    └── window 3
```
v_tiles is an implicitly created container.
