Good ManageHook! why not sending a patch to add it to ManageHelpers?

Btw, I'm now using it in with my new currentWs query (I've just sent the
patch) in my web workspace like this:

    , [ className =? "Shiretoko"  --> doF (W.shift "3:web") ]
    , [ currentWs =? "3:web"        --> keepMaster "Shiretoko" ]

(Shiretoko is the className of the Firefox window in ArchLinux)

byebye!

I use the following ManageHook to do just this:<br>

 keepMaster :: String -&gt; ManageHook<br>
 keepMaster c = assertSlave &lt;+&gt; assertMaster<br>

     assertSlave = fmap (/= c) className --&gt; doF W.swapDown<br>
