Excerpts from Mike Meyer's message of 2014-09-23 07:31:08 -0700:

Can this be done entirely from the configuration? For example, a
low-tech solution would be to simply have two Tall layouts in your
layout hook (one with one master pane and one with two master panes) and
a keybinding that toggles between them, e.g. using
X.A.CycleSelectedLayouts [1].

I recognize that this is not *identical*, but perhaps it's close to your
needs and doesn't require changes xmonad's core.
