I tried to explain at length why it is not nice and not clean. As
another example, it doesn't fit into the future Emacs model where GUI and
text (a.k.a. tty) frames can be supported in the same session. On a Mac,
it's possible that there are several frames each one with its distinct
look and feel.
Anyway, the need for the specific distinction that was raised in this
thread is something new, at least to me (I don't think I ever heard it
before), and seems at present to be specific to the Mac. I suggest to
file a feature request.
