  19  * This class serves two purposes.
  20  *
  21  * First, this class wraps a pointer to a window.
  22  *
  23  * Second, WindowIdentifier lets us uniquely identify a window across
  24  * processes.  A window exposes an ID which is unique only within its
  25  * process.  Thus to identify a window, we need to know the ID of the
  26  * process which contains it.  But the scope of a process's ID is its
  27  * parent; that is, two processes with different parents might have
  28  * the same ID.
  29  *
  30  * So to identify a window, we need its ID plus the IDs of all the
  31  * processes in the path from the window's process to the root
  32  * process.  We throw in the IDs of the intermediate windows (a
  33  * content window is contained in a window at each level of the
  34  * process tree) for good measures.
  35  *
  36  * You can access this list of IDs by calling AsArray().
