If I entirely understood what implication you were aiming for, I'm sure
I'd resent it. I don't really have a dog in this fight, I don't work on
GNOME Shell. I'm just trying to help you understand its design, since
you clearly don't, and you don't seem to want to go and read the design
docs as I already suggested you do.

Sorry, but telling someone to 'get it' is personal, whether you intended
it that way or not. I'm happy to accept that you didn't, but I'd still
suggest not doing it in future.
