Unfortunately, it doesn't work on platforms where the necessary
drag-and-drop APIs aren't available. Right now, they are only available
on X, Haiku and Nextstep.
Not mentioning that in the doc string was an oversight, but when I
looked into implementing them on MS Windows, I found that apparently the
necessary "IDropSource" API cannot be used from C.
