Yes, because as implemented the variable only affects new frames, so
you can switch it on and off as you create frames to get both styles.
Thus, it could be a frame parameter as well. I didn't do it this way
because I personally want it to be a global setting and because I
didn't see the existing window creation code looking at the frame
parameter alist and I didn't look around the file much to get a bigger
picture of how it works.

Yes, I believe that the
setContentBorderThickness:forEdge:
function on the win object would let you do that, but I haven't test
that. I know that iTerm2's title-less option gives the ability to add
a border, but I worry it is implement with a custom renderer.

It is possible to do that with [win setStyleMask:
NSBorderlessWindowMask], so it would be conceivable to add some
functions that would flip that setting on real frames. Although, I
don't see a way to go from an Emacs frame structure to the window
object. So, this seems like it would be a big patch (because you'd
want to do it in as cross-platform a way as possible) and different
than this one, so I hope the current patch is judged independently.

FWIW, I am not an OS X developer, so I don't know all the ins-and-outs of this.
My preference would be for this patch to go in if someone isn't going
to immediately do the frame parameter thing, because I don't have the
bandwidth to do it, I don't think.
