New option: incrementing id for windows with the same name

[tuurep]

To help with the problem that windows with the same class can't be differentiated, when class is used as window name.

From the discussion: #3:

I've also had ideas of using a small id for subsequent windows like, if I have only one firefox window open it would be firefox, but if two, they could be either:

• firefox(1) · firefox(2)
• firefox(a) · firefox(b)
• Something similar

I want this to be a configurable option, because I might choose to keep it off.

Current idea:

duplicate_id = "none" # "numeric" | "alphabetic"

This might not be too complicated to implement, as long as it can be assumed that _NET_CLIENT_LIST always has the order of oldest window to newest window.

However: what is _WIN_CLIENT_LIST and can it be assumed in that case?

Consider this too:

Suppose we have 4 firefox windows open:

firefox(a) · firefox(b) · firefox(c) · firefox(d)

And you close window firefox(c)

Should firefox(d) be renamed to firefox(c), or leave a 'gap' like:

firefox(a) · firefox(b) · firefox(d)

I think it would be more clear when using a number id, definitely rename (4) to (3) as it denotes the nth duplicate window.

Might go for numerical only and do it like that.

Also to be clear: when there are two windows of the same name and one gets closed, remove id on the remaining window like this:

firefox(1) · firefox(2) => close (2) => firefox
