This sounds workable. If we assume the people responsible won't change 
the calling sequence in an incompatible way, and if we could ensure 
CPSEnableForegroundOperation wasn't called earlier than strictly 
necessary (i.e. when calling the first routine that would actually 
require the window manager) and if we would give a warning at that 
point if the call wasn't available then I might even be tempted to put 
this in the core.

Hmm, some of these "if"s could be left to user code, if we add a 
MacOS.EnsureForeground() which would return a yes/no/notsure indicator 
(or a MacOS.EnsureForeground(conservative=True/False) which would raise 
an exception if it didn't work (or couldn't make sure, or any of 
another number of interfaces that would allow the same functionality).
