Proposal - a flag indicating that a Frame should appear in an OS-provided list
of an application's Frames, and a way of determining whether that list is a
"Windows" menu (usually only possible with global menu bars)

Mac OS X will automatically manage a "Windows" menu for your application if you
set the kWindowInWindowMenuAttribute flag on a Frame. The menu doesn't appear
unless you have a visible window with that flag set. The flag can be changed at
any time. The menu will automatically be added to all menubars belonging to the
application.

Users may want to use the native menu if it's there, and provide their own if
it's not, so they need a way to tell if the platform provides it. Or they might
want to do their own everywhere.

OS/2's equivalent is to let you specify which Frames show up in the task list
for your application, IIRC if you don't set the flag, you get just a single
entry.

Windows has something similar (I haven't used Windows since 3.0, so I don't know
what it is)

This is just a "nice to have" feature, if a platform doesn't support it we don't
need to p
