Is there a built-in way to ask GLMakie to keep the figure window on top of all the others?

I know of external programs that can do it to any window, but it would be slightly more convenient for me if I could do it from my Julia script.

Just updating the link, since the documentation has recently changed slightly. GLMakie window parameters are now in the Backends/GLMakie section of the documentation.
