Sorry, I don't see how input focus or frame position in z-order are
related to selecting a window.  Input focus is per-frame, not
per-window.  Someone who looks for information about focus or z-order
will look for frame-related stuff, not window-related stuff.

I could perhaps agree to a note in the manual where select-window is
described, but even there this information looks too far-fetched and
out of its natural place.

Maybe you could explain how you arrived at considering input focus and
z-order while using select-window.  Perhaps that would help me
understand the connection, because right now I see none.

Thanks.
