​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.
