I put a browser at Full layout. `PerWorkspace' enables Full for my
"browser-dedicated" workspace. This saves a couple of keystrokes. :)

According to [sporadically updated] xmonad config arghive, all three
modules have their users:

# users  module
      1  XMonad.Layout.MultiToggle
      4  XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace
      3  XMonad.Layout.ToggleLayouts

The script used to extract statistics (one may call it `user-survey.sh' ;)
