Re: [xmonad] Why isn't mappend for Query flipped?

I propose to change the Monoid instance for Query so that

mappend = liftM2 (flip mappend)

Of course, this has the undesirable side effect of breaking any configs where the order actually matters. But it would certainly make more sense moving forward, IMO.

I saw this too when writing XMonad.Hooks.InsertPosition in contrib. It would be nicer to reflect the change in the type: type ManageHook = Query (Dual (Endo WindowSet)) But unfortunately, this requires some simple changes to contrib: s/Endo/(Dual . Endo)/ should do. Some configs may break too. Adam
