I think it is documented:

        This creates 6 aliases rpws1, rpws2, etc. It also binds the keys M-F1,
        M-F2, etc to each rpwsN alias. Moreover, rpwsn (Next) and rpwsp (Prev)
        are created, and C-M-{Right,Left} are bound to rpws{n,p}. Full list of
        keybindings created are:

            M-F$i           Goto workspace $i
            C-M-Right       Goto Next workspace
            C-M-Left        Goto Prev workspace
            C-M-S-F$i       Move window to workspace $i
            C-M-greater     Move current window to next workspace
            C-M-less        Move current window to prev workspace

So did those users actually read ''perldoc rpws''?  Because I think
that's the problem at stake here.

Also:
- adding a wordy description for rpwsm$i without doing the same for
  rpwsm[np] looks weird to me.
- replacing the default keybindings is an unrelated change and means
  that users used to C-M-S-F$i will have to change their habits or
  modify rpws/their config.  This is not desirable, IMHO.

I'm not opposed to this (that would be a separate patch), but what's the
advantage over ratpoison -c "getenv wspl"?
