In xmonad-core, this fixes a small bug that caused doIgnored windows to get into `mapped' and never being removed from there.

In the context of xmonad-contrib, this fixes a tremendous memory leak that could be triggered by using MouseResizableTile and UrgencyHook at the same time. MRT would create dummy windows that would get added to `mapped' by the reveal call in `windows'. As these were not removed (removal from `mapped' is filtered by `isClient'), they'd stay there forever and due to an inefficiency in UrgencyHook would eat up all memory sooner or later. ] [loc.hs: hlintify gwern0@gmail.com**20100213231537 Ignore-this: c447928ce68d0a968b55af3539c979fa ] [Various clean-ups suggested by HLint Spencer Janssen **20100214025750 Ignore-this: ccaa6e774f2f8169e6083eddcffe31b6 ] [Make the --replace docs consistent Spencer Janssen **20100213002647 Ignore-this: c99526bce66ae1154fbf5713622f035d ] [Add --replace flag with documentation (issue 99).

Changes include: - compatibility with base-4 or 3 (base-2 untested) by using extensible-exceptions.
