+/// <summary>
+/// Tells a drawn titlebar's double-click from a press that starts a drag.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// <para>
+/// Both titlebars used to answer a double-click through <c>DoubleTapped</c> and start a drag on every press.
+/// The two do not mix: <c>BeginMoveDrag</c> hands the press to the operating system's own move loop, which
+/// eats the release — and a double tap is a gesture Avalonia assembles from presses <em>and</em> releases,
+/// so the second click often never completed one and the window did not maximise. The convention it was
+/// imitating is one nobody thinks about until it does not work.
+/// </para>
+/// <para>
+/// So the press decides, before the drag begins: a second press inside the platform's double-click time and
+/// distance is the maximise, and does not start a drag at all. The click count is honoured where the platform
+/// reports one, and the time and distance are measured here for where the move loop kept it from counting.
+/// </para>
