This enables adding the Typeable constraint to LayoutClass itself (https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/pull/242) which in turn enables querying the current layout state. That might be useful to e.g. show the current X.L.WorkspaceDir in xmobar. This is a preparation commit that fixes the compile failures that would result in merging that change to xmonad. For this to be generally useful we first need to merge (and ideally also release) that xmonad change, and then we'll need some documentation and perhaps a type class to help find the right LayoutModifier in the tree of ModifiedLayouts and Choices. That will come later.
