# the allaround task is to produce a single json file with the description
# of the current layout on the focused workspace. However, the
# i3-save-tree --workspace
# command only outputs the inner containers, without wrapping them into the
# root container of the workspace, which leads to loosing the information
# about the initial split .. vertical? or horizontal?...
# We can solve it by asking for a tree, which contains all workspaces,
# including the root splits and borrowing the root split info from there.
# I do it by locating the right place in the all-tree by mathing the
# workspace tree and then extracting the split part and adding it back
# to the workspace json.
# first we need to do some preprocessing, before we can find, where in the
# all-tree file we can find the workspace part.
