 So maybe it will appear in MDI children windows too in the next Windows
version :-)

 Good point about wxFrame rather than wxTLW, thanks. But IMHO it would be
somewhat better to have this in a separate class and not in wxFrame itself
as it doesn't make sense for the frames which are not used to display the
documents. But this is unfortunately not as simple as just adding
wxDocumentFrame as this wouldn't work in wxMDIChildFrame (which derives
from wxFrame). So if we want to

1. keep these document-specific methods in a separate class
2. be able to use them in MDI child frames

then the mix-in solution is necessary. But if nobody except me feels
strongly about (1) then we should indeed just add these methods to wxFrame.

 Yes, implementing this on the other platforms by appending something to
the title is a good idea too, thanks,
