> Window.open(owner:Window):void set up an implied association between the window's owner and the open state.  It implies that the owner will be cleared when the window is closed, when that is not the case.  Since ownership is a bi-directional association, failing to clear the owner of a discarded window will leak memory (the owner will maintain a reference to the owned [discarded] window).
> We should remove the open() signature that takes an owner and leave it up to callers to call setOwner(), then open().
