Description

Similar to how awful.client.focus.global_bydirection and awful.client.swap.global_bydirection work except for moving a client in a given direction. This would be nice to have if possible! Thanks.

Research direction
Study the implementations of `awful.client.focus.global bydirection` and `awful.client.swap.global bydirection` to understand the existing pattern. The new function should follow a similar structure but for moving the client. Look for relevant source files in the `lib/awful/client/` directory. Check the issue comments for any maintainer guidance on implementation details.
