  Quick reminder: the constantly brought argument for this was that it would allow mass closing of windows, what's outright silly, because the window layout would change w/ every closed window - not necessarily in a predictable way (not only because of the re-layout but attempting to close a window might instead add a dialog - in worst case not a transient one)
  
  I would also like to notice that dismissing all worries about pot. havoc but then using that very argument to rule out an LMB option is less than consistent.
  
  I used to make the case that iff PW needed a mass closing feature, a dual step (1. select a bunch of windows, 2. click a delete icon) would be a more robust UX.
  If nothing else, the re-layout has to become more predictable, ie. eg. freeze the layout (inc. not adding any new windows) once this action started.
