make DynamicLog prefix workspace names with number

Hi, Is there any easy way to get DynamicLog to prefix the names of workspaces with numbers? For instance, I have workspaces named "web", "mail" and "local"; I want these to show up in my xmobar as "1:web", "2:mail", and "3:remote". Of course I would just name the workspaces that way, but I also use DynamicWorkspaces, which would make that tricky. Thanks! --Omari

Re: [xmonad] (sub)layout set up

Thanks Quentin, I've got sublayout working with Adam's help at #xmonad. I've noticed this "limitation" you said about tabbed being the outer layout, but it's no big deal. The feature I really missed was a way to auto-group some windows, by matching them in the manageHook or something like X.L.ComboP does. Henrique G.
