/**
* 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().
