Anyway, I think it's a bad idea, as people expect to size a window however they want, or not size it at all.
I've worked with many programs which do the exact same thing, locking aspect ratio of the window, for the very same reasons... It's not that unusual, especially in graphical or media oriented programs.

It's actually as easy as limiting the size...
Limiting the size is simply done by checking the window size before Windows actually paints the window. And in case it is bigger than allowed, simply ignore the resize request/Windows message.
Having the aspect ratio locked is equally simply and done in the very same way: when the width changes, also change the height accordingly. And vice versa.
I think it would make a nice addition. Dunno how much it would be used though...
All this of course if Plus! has a way to intercept the sizing of WLM windows. But if it can, you could anything you want with the sizing in the same manner.
