Ctrl W not close app

* The current document-centric ctrl-w behavior discards a window, as it does a tab, when the window no longer contains a document. The proposal makes the window widget "heavier" favoring it over the document concept; instead of the application getting out of the way when the user is done with the document, it demands that the user deal specifically with the window to close it with e.g. a different keybinding.
* This can currently be done via an extension (although not aware of an extension that does this and only this).
* Currently, when I'm done with a document, I can safely press Ctrl+W, and the right thing will happen (the tab will close, or the window will close). If I had to press a different shortcut to close a window, I'd sometimes accidentally press the shortcut to close a window without realizing that I had other tabs open.
* Blanking a tab isn't an especially useful action.
==Should this be a preference?==
