    /*  This function returns a pointer to the app's topmost NSWindow that
        the point `screenPoint` is over. The important distinction here is that
        this function takes _all_ system windows into consideration and will return
        `nil` if there is a system window (or NSMenu etc.) that the cursor
        is over which is atop the app window, which is information that
        can't otherwise be gleaned by checking against `[NSApp orderedWindows]` etc.
        
        This is useful in cases where you need to know e.g. what window the cursor is
        *really* over, whether it is a window in your app, or a menu in the menubar, etc.
