Everything that affects windows affects either a window's state or
it's style.  We've spent a lot of time to eradicate global window
settings; the EwmhBaseStruts command is an anachronism, imposing
artificial limitations on windows when it could be expressed as

  Style * EwmhBaseStruts a b c d

as well.

That doesn't rule out making it a style.

It's about areas where windows are not to be placed, so it's
clearly about windows.

It should be deprecated and made a style instead (or possibly a
collection of styles), like everything else related to windows.
