I don't believe other macOS applications let you make arbitrary
windows "invisible" like Emacs does. Minimising windows and "hiding"
the application work exactly like other macOS apps I've tried.
As far as I can tell we don't do anything particularly unusual. Hidden
windows other than the last selected one don't magically reappear, so
I suspect what we're seeing is macOS bringing the "main" window to the
front when we switch to the application.
We can't resign the main window, afaik. I suppose we could just delete
the windows completely when we make them invisible instead of just,
y'know, making them invisible.
