Right, all things considered here:
To close an app the user can A) Click the "close button" or B) Right click on 
the launcher and then click on "Quit". To open a new instance of an app the 
user *must* A) Middle click on the app icon on the launcher.
Surely some apps have "New window" in their quicklists menu, but not all of 
them. And even if all of the default apps have the "New Window" quicklists, 
what happens with those that does not come out of the box. It's impossible that 
EVERY app to be patched to have such quicklist.
So re-assigning middle-click to "close" instead of "new instance" will remove 
the only way to open new window for EVERY app, which I daresay will not be a 
good call :)
P.S. Still, doesn't this need "need-design" tag, @om26er?
