I guess there would need to be some caveats, e.g. it shouldn't close
anything that has OK and Cancel buttons (or equivalent), because that
would be ambiguous.  (Perhaps that was the reason we originally
restricted it to documents only, but I don't recall off-hand... will dig
through my old notes when I have a minute.)
