 Demonstrates how to open several windows after each other.
 
+Expected order of execution:
+
+- When the example runs a first window will be shown.
+- Once the first window is closed after a delay a second window will be shown.
+- Similarly, when the second window is closed after a delay a third will be shown.
+- Once the third is closed the program will stop.
+
 NOTE: this doesn't work on Mac due to <https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/issues/2431>.
