Yes, of course.  Anything that doesn't modify XMonad or Main can be done in
Config, since Operations and StackSet both have no export lists.  I assumed
that export lists were intended to be added, and that's why I put code that
seemed "Operations-level" in Operations and "StackSet-level" in StackSet.

I see.  That's fine.  I do think there should be an export list for
StackSet, though, so you can change the internal structure in the future.
