New issue 504 by dansp... at gmail.com: Suggested modification to  
XMonad.Actions.WindowsGo.runOrRaiseNext
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=504

Best explained by an example:
Currently:
I have 2 instances of chrome running:
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Pidgin)
Pidgin
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome2
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome1

Proposed Change:
I have 2 instances of chrome running:
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Pidgin)
Pidgin
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome1
(runRaiseNext Chrome)
Chrome2

I think the current behavior is not ideal, as it makes it difficult to swap  
between a particular window of an application and any other window. Very  
simply put my suggestion is NOT to cycle to the next window if the window  
we are coming from is not an instance of the window type.
