I would hope it becomes obvious when those kind of things are being
implemented. I'm sure Android works like that, except they have a
hard-wired back button, so they must make the back button quit out.
Without a hard-wired button, we have the freedom to replace it with
confirm and cancel buttons to avoid any confusion.

I don't think any cross-app tasks like this have been attempted yet, so
we'll wait and see.

The right-edge swipe is the equivalent of Alt-Tab, that's not a back
button in my mind, but if that's what you mean, then yes.
