I didn't email it, because I was afraid of swamping the list.  Would you
(and others) prefer to get emails of patches that introduce new features?

Indeed, it's a little shocking how often I've renamed my workspaces since
writing this code.  :)

A (hopefully) useful feature is that if you rename a workspace to an
existing workspace name, then the two workspaces get merged.  I haven't
tested this feature yet, so I haven't documented it, but it seems like it
ought to have good uses, and will perhaps make removeWorkspace obsolete.

Not me... (and not because I'm being unfriendly, either)
