Review Comment:
> Did you accidentally pass a Pipeline object or a PBegin
I agree with @hjtran that it would be better to handle this error earlier in
the call stack.
When an error from `get_windowing` is raised with the message like `Did you
accidentally pass a Pipeline object or a PBegin`, the error suggests that a
user might have passed a wrong argument to `get_windowing` , but it's an
internal function that they don't use, so users might be confused.
> I think this could be done by modifying PTransform.__ror__
This sounds like a reasonable path to explore.
