My answer right now is, well, users will have to close each window
individually, and that's probably a good thing. For one thing, it will
help to prevent accidental closure.

However, if there are specific cases where closing multiple windows at
once is important, that would be good to explore.

These all sound like good things to investigate, and if this change
pushes us to do that, then all the better!
