[Bf-funboard] Please add a Zoom Border zoom out

[Bassam Kurdali]

Sorry I just don't understand how this is intuitive.
Zoom border is neither zoom in or zoom out; we already have interface
for these; rather, zoom border does what it says on the tin. zoom to the
border drawn on the screen. how does this map to zooming out? you can't
draw a border bigger than the screen, and you can't really specify the
rectangle ... this should be renamed 'really inefficient zoom out that
requires a hotkey'
Please don't do it.
