In Zed, we are initializing a graphics context for every window. However, if there is more than one window, we are wasting time re-initializing the connection to the graphics driver, recompiling all the pipelines, etc. If we support multiple windows natively, we could save that time.

What is required for this to be implemented and what would the implementation look like?

We'd need to introduce Window as a new type of things. It would be created from the Context.
Overall, I haven't thought through the details of how this will work. I typically start prototyping it to see the issues that would arise and then design as I go.
