While that sounds nice, it duplicates the features GNOME 3 already has. 
Click Activities and you have a window list, or simply press the 
Windows/Super key. Having a dedicated window switching button would just 
do the same thing that GNOME 3 already does, but in a different area 
(and also possibly harder to reach, depending on the implementation). 
Also, don't forget that Alt+Tab is completely keyboard and mouse 
navigable (including arrow keys). There's really a lot of ways to switch 
tasks in GNOME 3 :)
