Oh. No, that was very unclear to me. I was wondering about the
duplication, but I glossed it over as yet another subtle point I did not
comprehend.

I guess my point is that expanding the examples - in general - would
help people, like me, get further into these things.

Thanks!

I am trying that now, and it doesn't seem to work for me - the Firefox
on workspace 3 is still using 5-10% CPU, regardless of how long I have
been on another workspace.

(Well, I just kept taking stuff from the examples and combining them
until the compiler stopped complaining. I don't have much experience
with Haskell, but I do with debugging/pattern matching/guessing.)
