When I move the mouse from one frame to another, it generates
a `switch-frame' event, which is run by the perfectly normal command
handle-switch-frame, including running pre/post-command-hook.

Same as above: runs pre/post-command-hook etc...

Currently used to turn off the blink-cursor timer.
Other users want it to (auto-)save a file when its buffer/frame
loses focus.
Yet others want to change the frame's background color to indicate that
it has focus.
