Bug Description

Dragging a window to the left or right edges of the screen will cause it to semi-maximise; that is, it will grow to be the height of the screen and half the width of the screen. This is useful. However, there's no indication that this will happen until you do it. The reason I knew this was possible is that Ubuntu Unity does it, and when dragging a window in this way under Unity, a "ghost window" is shown expanded to that size before one finishes the drag, which hugely aids discoverability of this feature. It would be nice if elementary indicated that this would happen in some way.
