-- $usage
-- Provides two new kinds of 'ManageHooks' that can be defined at runtime.
--
-- * One-shot 'ManageHooks' that are deleted after they execute.
--
-- * Permanent 'ManageHooks' (unless you want to destroy them)
--
-- Note that you will lose all dynamically defined 'ManageHook's when you @mod+q@!
-- If you want them to last, you should create them as normal in your @xmonad.hs@.
--
-- First, you must execute 'initDynamicHooks' from 'main' in your @xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > dynHooksRef <- initDynamicHooks
--
-- and then pass this value to the other functions in this module.
--
-- You also need to add the base 'ManageHook':
--
-- > xmonad { manageHook = myManageHook <+> dynamicMasterHook dynHooksRef }
--
-- You must include this @dynHooksRef@ value when using the functions in this
-- module:
--
-- > xmonad { keys = myKeys `Data.Map.union` Data.Map.fromList 
-- >                   [((modMask conf, xK_i), oneShotHook dynHooksRef 
-- >                    "FFlaunchHook" (className =? "firefox") (doShift "3") 
-- >                    >> spawn "firefox")
-- >                   ,((modMask conf, xK_u), addDynamicHook dynHooksRef 
-- >                     (className =? "example" --> doFloat))
-- >                   ,((modMask conf, xK_y), updatePermanentHook dynHooksRef
-- >                     (const idHook))) ]  -- resets the permanent hook.
