//    Kevin Ballard: Warping
//    Steve Voida: Workspace notifications
//    Tony Arnold: Workspaces notifications enum filters
//    Ben Gertzfield: CGSRemoveConnectionNotifyProc
//
//  Changes:
//    2.3 - Added the CGSRemoveConnectionNotifyProc method with the help of Ben Gertzfield
//    2.2 - Moved back to CGSPrivate, added more enums to the CGSConnectionNotifyEvent
//    2.1 - Added spaces notifications
//    2.0 - Original Release

• From https://code.google.com/p/undocumented-goodness/source/browse/trunk/CoreGraphics/CGSPrivate.h

Notes

• There appears to be some functions that are not in this document, I tested and found on Jan 11, 2016 a function named CGSGetConnectionIDForPSN exists, I learned of its possibility from here - https://github.com/mnutt/libqxt/blob/767498816dfa1742a6f3aee787281745afec11b8/src/gui/qxtwindowsystem_mac.h#L80
