This could be useful to know! I still used to do this on XP, where there was at least an icon there but it seemed to be deprecated. I don't think I'd even tried it in 7+.
Although I am wondering if it has ever bitten anyone by accident, especially given that double-clicking elsewhere on the top bar will maximise a window (and I do this frequently). Could be unfortunate.
Other not really documented leftovers of previous UI standards: I still sometimes use Ctrl-insert and shift-insert for copy and paste, which still work in a surprising number of apps, but not everywhere. I picked up the habit in the DOS 5 era with QBasic/Edit, but it seems to have been an IBM standard from 1987: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access
Especially useful in terminal apps/ssh clients, where you really don't want to be pressing Ctrl-C by accident.
I use ctrl-insert and shift-insert myself which I picked up from the old "m" editor that shipped with Microsoft's C compiler, version 2. (2 floppies and a green 3-ring binder.)
