When removing a workspace and distributing its windows, it's important
to remove any duplicates that may be there due to, for example, usage of
X.A.CopyWindow. X will only draw one of these window, leading to some
artifacts.

This is a convenience module in order to have less import noise. It
re-exports the following:
a) Commonly used modules in full (Data.Foldable, Data.Applicative, and
so on); though only those that play nicely with each other, so that
XMonad.Prelude can be imported unqualified without any problems.
This prevents things like `Prelude.(.)` and `Control.Category.(.)`
fighting with each other.
b) Helper functions that don't necessarily fit in any other module;
e.g., the often used abbreviation `fi = fromIntegral`.
You can add indexes to workspaces and use them to do actions on
workspaces. This allows you to dynamicaly associate a workspace to a
keybinding without depending of the workspace name or the workspace
position.
The current DynamicWorkspaces module only supports adding new workspaces
at the start of the list of workspaces. This means when binding workspaces
to keys based on the position in the list, key bindings can change
as workspaces are added in removed in a far more destructive way than
necessary. Instead, supporting appending and arbitrary insertion allows
the user to determine where the new workspace should be added.
This patch is a straight generalization of the addHiddenWorkspace' function.
Rather than always using `(:)` to insert the new workspace into the list
of workspaces, this patches causes it to use an arbitrary list insertion
function instead. A few new functions are added to prevent breakage of
external code while exported functions are left unchanged.
List of new functions:
appendWorkspace
appendWorkspacePrompt
addWorkspaceAt
addHiddenWorkspaceAt
Existing functions were modified to call their generalized brethren where possible
without changing functionality. This patch should not change behavior for any
existing users of this module.
Daniel's change which broke -Wall (adding an import for haddock only) was
somehow removed. Instead we can just modify the sample code to add the import.
Before this patch the documentation claims that it won't do anything on non-empty workspaces when it actually does. This patch fixes the documentation to reflect the actual behaviour, but also adds the behaviour promised by the documentation in other functions. It does not break configs. In addition it also provides functions to help removing empty workspaces when leaving them.
