"selected" and "has focus" are fundamentally technically independent,
even though in practice they are strongly correlated.  So it's natural
for users to get confused about these issues, and we should be extra
careful in our terminology to try and not make this confusion worse.

So if you want a function which modifies focus, it should not be called
select-frame-window: it needs to have "focus" in its name.
