All my fault; I was looking at the Documentation section on the website,
but originally skipped that link because it said *advanced*
configuration; I assumed it was all about writing extensions, which I
wasn't doing at the time.

Absolutely --- we don't want to break anything.

Possibly rather than try to change the defwinprop behaviour, it would be
better to do this via new behaviour? Maybe something as simple as:

add_winprop_hook(
	function(prop, cwin, id)
		-- make all windows float unless specified otherwise
		if not prop.float then
			prop.float = true
		end
	end
)
		
These then get run (in order) after ioncore.getwinprop() has scanned the
defwinprop list. This should satisfy Principle of Least Surprise while
at the same time being more flexible.
