I don't think this need to be handled by the IDL.

When the application tells the component to "zoom_to_fit", it knows that it
did so and can display this instead of the zoom level.

However, there's still the problem of what "zoom_to_fit" should do:

* zoom to fit in horizontally
* zoom to fit in vertically
* zoom to fit in both directions and scretching the image if needed
