To me, it wouldn't be contrary to SWT's goals to provide a key binding
for that key. Listeners for that key would obviously not get it on
some platforms, but I don't see the harm in providing key codes for
the Win key, the Apple key, etc., for those apps that want to leverage
those keys. For instance, an application might want to use the Win
key with a Windows keyboard and the Apple key on an Apple keyboard for
the same purpose.
