I think one could add it, but should one add it? I don't think so.
That's a big interface change over all other Mac applications. While I
can understand people saying it ought to be an option (and probably
agree) Apple definitely has moved to limiting customization of the GUI.
That isn't likely to change.
I should add that I think a better solution is simply some key
combination that makes click-drag a move of the window and doesn't pass
the event down to window contents. Then say esc-click would enter this
"move window" mode which would end when the drag is over.
That could be easily added to most applications and allows one to keep
the look and feel of OSX.
