This is something needed for properly implementing modal dialogs in WebKit2 at least, and something that other ports (e.g. Qt, Mac) already have, so it would be a good addition.

Actually, it would be more than just "a good addition" but something needed if we want to implement modal dialogs in WebKit2GTK+, since I have observed (while working in the patch for modal dialogs in WK2GTK) that it would be very hard (impossible?) to implement proper unit tests for such a patch since the WebProcess would die right after closing the modal dialog, since WebCore would quit the only event loop once the dialog was closed, which would result in the WebProcess being terminated, causing great trouble and pain in the form of the unit tests hanging after that.

So, a patch would be nice here.
