Alright, I figured this out by looking at the tot sourcecode, so now
my new question:
How do I let [window_name] and [canvas_name] accept either a float or
a symbol, looking up parents in the case of a float and looking up a
remote window in the case of a symbol?

Attached is the symbol-taking remote window version.
