+      xmonad core.  They are re-exported by the module, but do not add any
+      new functionality.  `NewSelect` now exists as a deprecated type

---
--- As yet another (possibly easier) alternative, you can use the
--- "XMonad.Layout.Named" modifier to give custom names to your
--- layouts, and use those.
