When WindowProxy objects (`window` global) are returned from scripts evaluated by Execute Script or Execute Async Script, they are marshalled into objects containing their associated window handles. Top-level browsing contexts and other browsing contexts (<iframe>, <frame>) are unique identified so that strongly typed languages can benefit from type inference. This reuses the same architecture we have in place for serialisation of so-called web elements.

How would this be used? Since we can't switch to a frame like this it seems like it's not needed.

As I explained in my email it lets clients infer type information so they would know not to accept a frame as argument to Switch To Window.
