There is also another reason - the wmii-2 way only supported the
arrange-function being integrated that way. But in dwm we have
things like incnmaster() or resizemaster() which manipulate the
tile()-layout. Hence it would get very messy to handle such
add-on functions with such a way like we had in wmii-2 - so it
is much easier and simplier for patch contributors to put
everything into 1 single superfeature.patch file.
