2016-02-15 New infobool

• Window.Is()
  

this boolean is only useful in xml files that are shared between multiple windows/dialogs.

for instance, the musicinformation and songinformation dialogs use the same xml file *and* can be visible at the same time.
that will cause your regular Window.IsVisible(songinformation) to return true for both instances of the dialog.
Window.Is(songinformation) will only return true for the songinfo dialog and not for the musicinfo dialog.
