Well, I think windowed mode may be a special case (remember, when the  
function was created originally, there was no such thing as windowed  
mode), since Allegro tries not to trap the mouse inside the program  
window (unless perhaps when you call get_mouse_mickeys()), and you'll  
need to convince me that it would be a good thing if it did -  
personally I consider programs that prevent my mouse from leaving the  
window to be badly broken. However, you cannot do the one (restrict  
mouse movement) without the other (trapping the mouse inside the  
window), but you can clip the values, which is why I think it behaves  
the way it does. Have you checked against fullscreen programs?
