No, the idea is not for just one function.

It's for anything useful to some SDL apps that is not available without having to touch SDL's internal structures and minimal use of system specific code, but that is not available on all major platforms. Such as an application that doesn't use SDL for cross-platform development, but rather for simpler development on a single platform.

michelleC's iPhone issues and the proposed desktop window attribute were just two examples that came to mind. The ability to render to the edges of windows on the Windows system was also another thing that came to mind.
