Ah, ILOTWIO.  I'll have remember that one.  :-)

The allwindows is already in the binding structure, and the code says

     new->allwindows = FALSE;	/* Can be explicitly set later */

but I don't see where any function making it easy to do so for the builtins and 
the binding pointer is tossed.  A little change would be needed there.  (Maybe 
as easy as simply returning the binding pointer from the bind_append routine.)
