----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to abuse existing issues to describe this:

1. {{@StartBundle}} should not be able to output
2. New {{DoFn}} should have a way to output to a specific window
3. {{@FinishBundle}} should be required to specify the window (or be unable to output)

Otherwise we have a bunch of quasi-dupes.

> While within startBundle and finishBundle, the window in which elements are output is not generally defined. Elements must always be output from within a windowed context, or the {{WindowFn}} used by the {{PCollection}} may not operate appropriately.
> startBundle and finishBundle are suitable for operational duties, similarly to {{setup}} and {{teardown}}, but within the scope of some collection of input elements. This includes actions such as clearing field state within a DoFn and ensuring all live RPCs complete successfully before committing inputs.
