First, my apologies: I was really wrong back in
February. :-)

My current preference would be to do xcb_window_enum_t for
just the ones that are altenum, and leave non-altenums
as-is.  We know that this won't collide on any existing
stuff, and I'd be surprised if it did on new stuff.

Does this make sense?
