I think we're generally better off embracing the idea that it's not
Emacs's job to decide how to handle focus and window stacking.

​​

 

​​

​​

Because the problems with focus and such don't all have to do with

​​

technicalities of how the APIs work, but also with interaction about the

​​

specific focus policy that the user may have chosen in his

​​

window-manager (as well as with the frame/window management policies he

​​

has setup in his display-buffer-alist).
