It's certainly not unprecedented. Using Apple's Toolbox library on
GS/OS (Apple IIgs) circa 1987, NewWindow2 was introduced with much more
functionality than NewWindow. I would not be surprised if the
Macintosh Toolbox had the same type of thing though I wasn't
programming Macs at that time but the GS/OS Toolbox was clearly highly
related to the Mac version. Both continued to be supported.
