This will be in the next release. Three questions:

 1. Is this urgent (I can do a release if required)?
 2. Does it still make sense to have the 'basic' function
    as equivalent to "wd_and_ht_plus_dp", and if so do
    we need the latter as a equivalent 'systematic' function?
 3. Are these more complex possibilities needed for \coffins_...?
    (Currently there is only \coffin_resize:Nnn.)
