Sorry, Marco, but if this is the intended design, then the design is
flawed.

Unity Alt-Tab behavior breaches the system of using one shortcut for
switching between applcations and another for switching between windows
of the same application.

The reason for using shortcuts to switch windows is to do it
automatically and without thought. If you work in a window for some
time, you cannot remember which was the last window or application you
used. Then, when you attempt to alt-tab switch, the result in Unity will
surprise you most of the time.

I have noticed that, when using Unity, my speed of switching windows
deteriorates, because each time i press Alt-Tab (i.e. after the first
click) I have to pause and see where I have landed. By comparison,
switching between windows in Gnome Shell happens considerably faster,
because there you just click on Alt-Tab, without giving any thought. In
Unity, it goes like that: click, think and then click further. Or worse:
click, wtf and then click further.

Please, allow the option you suggested. It will greatly improve the
Unity experience for some people.
