Ctrl W not close app

Pro: C-w may, and S-C-w does close window; the app, only incidentally
===Pro===
* Inconsistency: Close tab button and Ctrl-W are currently inconsistent ("close tab button" keeps app open, ctrl-W closes the app(possibly last) window). Also in the same way, currently inconsistent with right click on tab -> "Close tab" (which does not cannot close the app).* There's already a keyboard shortcut for closing the app window (SHIFT+CTRL+W).
* Surprise: The current behaviour is often surprising - "Whoa! Where did my browser window just go?". New behaviour will not be surprising to the new user.
* It's currently in an extension (Tab Mix Plus, under "Events" tab -> option "Do not close window when closing last tab by hotkey"), so there is demand for this and it can be done on Firefox.
