[Mono-osx] Need a replacement for NSWindow.Close()

[Maxi Combina]

.OrderOut() and .Close() don't seem to be equivallent:
If I use Window.OrderOut() then the Window.WillClose() is not dispatched.
I can not invoke PerformClose() since I use Borderless windows.

I found 2 ideas, please advise me on those:
1) To have my own events: I use .OrderOut() and launch a custom event, to
replace WillClose().
2) I code:
   OrderOut();
   StyleMask = Titled | Closable; // enable PerformClose()
   PerformClose(this) // Close the already hidden window

Or maybe I should refactor.

Is it just me that finds the missing .Close() a little odd?

Bests,
Maxi
