D'oh. Oh well.

Though that does mean there is now something of an alternative to 
Alt+TAB on windows, so if you do configure emacs to grab Alt+TAB at a 
low level on windows with w32-register-hot-key as the docs mention, then 
it's no longer the case you're hidden the ability to easily* switch app 
from the keyboard, so the issue is maybe actually a bit less pressing 
than it used to be on w32.

* though in a more useless and annoying, or at least gimmicky, manner...
