#87 "Interface Coalescing" is precisely implemented across OS X, notably the Finder for file I/O.

Also, you spelled "Coalescing" wrong :)

Thanks, fixed.

Do you know if it has an API? It would be nice if it was a standard piece of architecture available on the desktop environment without creating completely dedicated dialogs. There would be some way to define how interfaces are to be merged.
