It's a Windows-only function. It looks like revision r75103 moved it
out of the Windows section of the help pages six years ago. Some other
help pages were similarly moved, e.g.
- ?windows and ?windowsFonts, document the functions as being
Windows-only.
- ?msgWindow and ?windows.options have the same issue as ?bringToTop.
Maybe someone remembers the intention of that move...

Is this considered a bug?
