Hey, Michael! Good to hear from you! Thanks for affirming that this "hack"
is now a feature. I'm not clear on what "Radar" is...like a release note of
some sort? And I'm not entirely clear: If it was re-enabled in 10.1.2, does
that mean that it is standard for everyone, and one need do nothing to
enable it? Perhaps the plist entry is now redundant or vestigial?

Like you--well, junior version--I have about a score of apps open with
around 100 windows all told, so this window compression thing is an absolute
must in my book!
