Apart from the decision whether GTK's client-side decorations should have
rounded or sharp corners (which is internal to GTK), gnome-terminal wants to be
able to decide between two modes:

* fit exactly into a space we've been given, and fill that space even if
  it means leaving up to (1 character cell - 1 pixel) unused around the
  edges
  (MAXIMIZED, TILED or FULLSCREEN)

* behave as a normal "floating" window; constrain resizes to
  character-cell-sized steps because that's all that makes sense for
  a terminal
  (none of those flags)

I would guess that tiling window managers (XMonad, Awesome, etc.) would
probably want to put every window in the TILED mode too.

GTK's API for this, GDK_WINDOW_STATE_TILED, is (quoting the docs)

"""
the window is in a tiled state
"""

and it isn't 100% clear which specific aspect(s) of tiling were meant by that,
but given that the API exists, it seems sensible for it to mean *something* in
Wayland.
