In AppleScript a script can refer to the title of a window as

That's why I prefer a programming language not to be too much like
a natural language. :-)
But the problem with that is not that it is too much like a natural
language, but too little like a natural language.
The more it's like a natural language, the more intelligent you expect
it to be, and the more you expect it to be able to work out ambiguities
for itself.
