You can manipulate almost any behavior of ratpoison, and implement any
new function, using "ratpoison -c" calls in your shell scripts. This is
actually good practice [see the many scripts in the "contrib" folder of
the ratpoison distribution and on the ratpoison wiki] since it keeps
bloat away from the ratpoison codebase. 

One could say that ratpoison is a "window manager kernel" that can be
arbitrarily extended through an external script userland. Which is, if I
understand things correctly, why S. Betts has got into LISP programming
and created StumpWM eventually.
