So my thought is that where interactive user input goes is broader than input focus,

a succinct manner that is easily findable when looking up windows or frames.

​I would also argue that although I agree that selecting windows, selecting frames and

setting user input to a frame are all different concepts, they are lower-level concepts

from which higher-level user-centered behaviors are built.  The user model is much closer

to "I select a thing that I see and any further inputs go there".  In fact, with many

window managers this is true, as a click in a window will select the frame, the window

and set input focus there.  So there is no reason to avoid offering the Elisp programmer

a similar model that documents these concepts in combination and brings the programming

model closer to the user model.  For those times where finer-grained control is necessary,

the individual behavior primitives are always available.
