The option key also changes the Set Aside command to a Set Aside
Others command which sets aside everything but the current application.

Suprisingly, though, if you select an open application from the Apple
menu with the option key down, it does not set aside the current
application as it switches.  It seemed to me that that would have made
sense in light of what you just said.
