Another complication of this is that some frame properties are not
accessible from the frame itself, but rather from its container. This is
because, internally, there is a Frame element and a Window element referred
to by the frame and contained in the Frames array. To see what i mean, look
at what i recently had to do to allow Frames to be accessed by id instead
of name -- kinda hairy.
The design principle with Watir is that we try to make Watir be intuitive,
even if that means our code isn't a simple mapping to the OLE objects.
Ultimately, i think we need to start taking a more experimental approach.
We need to be able to release an implementation and discuss it and modify
it, *before* we commit to supporting it.
Right now i am working on new dialog support code. I think everyone will
like both the new API and the new functionality that will come with it. If
so, we then face what to do with the old WinClicker and WindowHandler code,
which i would like to deprecate.

ah, good point. Should it perhaps only iterate the top level frames?
and if you wanted lower level frames, you would apply an iterator to that
frame. Seems like this way would save me work;-) But probably be less
intuiitive.
