Got it.

Hm. Maybe I'm unclear about "focus". To me, "focus" was about input focus: the
focused frame is the one that accepts/receives keyboard input.
In something like `select-frame-set-input-focus', my interpretation was that
frame selection was related to the border highlighting and setting input focus
was related to receiving keyboard input. AFAIK, `select-frame' does the former,
but `select-frame-set-input-focus' is needed to get the latter.

Expected from `redirect-frame-focus', I guess you mean. So IIUC,
`select-frame-set-input-focus' does `select-frame' plus `redirect-frame-focus'?
