This is for applications that want to know the "usually" selected
window while the minibuffer window is selected. It's still unclear to
me what 'minibuffer-selected-window' should really return in the first
place. Its doc-string
Return window selected just before minibuffer window was selected.
is misleading because, while the minibuffer is active, I always can
select a window that is not minibuf_selected_window and then select
the minibuffer window again.

The current version would be for users to evaluate right now. If it
suits their needs, we can always provide it as a primitive.
