/**
 * This class serves two purposes.
 *
 * First, this class wraps a pointer to a window.
 *
 * Second, WindowIdentifier lets us uniquely identify a window across
 * processes.  A window exposes an ID which is unique only within its
 * process.  Thus to identify a window, we need to know the ID of the
 * process which contains it.  But the scope of a process's ID is its
 * parent; that is, two processes with different parents might have
 * the same ID.
 *
 * So to identify a window, we need its ID plus the IDs of all the
 * processes in the path from the window's process to the root
 * process.  We throw in the IDs of the intermediate windows (a
 * content window is contained in a window at each level of the
 * process tree) for good measures.
 *
 * You can access this list of IDs by calling AsArray().
