-- Turns your workspaces into a more topic oriented system.
--
-- This module allow to organize your workspaces on a precise topic basis. So
-- instead of having a workspace called `work' you can setup one workspace per
-- task. Here we will call these workspaces, topics. The great thing with
-- topics is that one can attach a directory that makes sense to each
-- particular topic. One can also attach an action that will be triggered
-- when switching to a topic that does not have any windows in it. So one can
-- attach our mail client to the mail topic, some terminals in the right
-- directory for the xmonad topic... This package also provides a nice way to
-- display your topics in a historical way using a custom `pprWindowSet'
-- function. You can also easily switch to recents topics using this history
-- of last focused topics.
--
-- Here is an example of configuration using TopicSpace:
--
-- @
-- myTopicConfig :: TopicConfig
-- myTopicConfig = TopicConfig
-- { allTopics =
-- [ \"dashboard\" -- the first one
-- , \"admin\", \"build\", \"cleaning\", \"conf\", \"darcs\", \"haskell\", \"irc\"

-- , \"yi\", \"documents\", \"twitter\", \"pdf\"
