Qt did better. Everything is a widget, and windows (main window, toolbar 
window, dock window) are kinds of widgets.

Maybe Win32 inherited the terminology from X10/X11?

Of course, when you get actual OO with actual inheritance and such, it 
becomes a lot easier.

w = new Window();
w.hasTitlebar(true);
w.canTakeFocus(false);
w.hasHelpIconThingie(true);
w.backgroundColor(white);
w.open();
