  19. If an application would simply exit when asked to delete its window,
  20. and it has no requirement for user interaction during its cleanup
  21. operations, if any, I see no reason why it should bother participating
  22. in WM_DELETE_WINDOW.  (I suspect this is a fairly large class of
  23. applications.)  Do you see any such reason?
