You mean some kind of `save-frame-focus` macro (tho that name itself
can be confusing since it seems to refer to `frame-focus` which is yet
another kettle of fish)?

"Manually" changing focus should be something done very rarely in Elisp,
so why/when would you need to use something like `save-frame-focus`?
