Summary: Information about the cause of SDL_QUIT event requested

Description Intellectual Kitty 2016-12-30 04:30:17 UTC 
An SDL_QUIT event can be generated for a number of reasons.  However, this information is not passed along with the event, which makes it difficult for the application to decide whether or not the quit event should be acted on.  For instance, a text editing application should continue to run even when the last window is closed, but it's currently not possible to determine this kind of quit event from one generated for another reason (e.g., Command-Q on macOS, an interrupt signal, etc.).

This is a good idea for SDL 2.1, thanks!
