Well, yes it could, it works nicely. However, I don't know the proper lua to produce not
only the list of currently existing workspaces, but the one being displayed right now.
So, for the moment, when I call the script, notionflux returns:

"*scratchws*|WGroupWS|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh|"

meaning I have 5 workspaces + scratch. What I would like, is for notionflux to write something like:

25 "*scratchws*|WGroupWS-foo|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh|"

while I'm displaying 'WGroupWS' but

25 "*scratchws*|WGroupWS|WGroupWS<1>|WGroupWS<2>|WGroupWS<4>|duh-foo|"

while I diplaying (switching to) workspace 'duh'.

Let's be more specific and add that "displaying" something means (I'm on singlehead display) that my focus is there, as in I'm typing to a terminal that's there:)

To ilustrate even further, check out this guy's Awesome WM screenshot:

In fact, my notion setup looks quite similar, except it's more greenish:) So in the top-left corner, you can see he has and indicator (four squares) of which workspace he's currently on. Voila c'est ca...
