I'm not sure that you meant this exactly, it implies that each application
become a separate python object type, no?

If we have an 'ae' object type which represents an application's aete then
we would have
	f = aeopen('finder')
	for win in f.Get(Container_window().folder())
		if win == 'blabla':
			f.Close(Container_window(win))
