In this case, there is a standard Carbon window definition which
supports the titlebar on left, and it (or a third-party version which
looks much the same) has been used in mainstream Mac apps for a decade
or more, so I doubt this will confuse users much.
Please file a bug report so this gets added for the sake of feature
parity between Carbon and Cocoa...
