Hm... But wouldn't that mess up focus order in tiled mode (I mean,
when doing a couple of non-clockwise mouse-based focus-changes,
keyboard based focus-order would become quite random).

I think it would be better to use snext (or whatever its name will be)
for keeping track of the z-order instead (and pop a client whenever
it's raised by restack()). This would leave focus-ordering intact, and
still retain z-order (I'll say it again: mixing client-focus-order and
client-z-order up is bound to lead to problems).
