yes probably restack should be rethinked because sometimes it is
called unnecessaryly in lt->arrange() (togglebar, inc(n)master(w),
zoom, configurenotify, ..).

it looks ok, but if the focused tiled window is lowered then that's
still not good for monocle (or fullscreen as it's called in my src)
may be XRestackWindows[1] can be used to place the tiled window
exactly where we want (below the floating layer but on top of the
tiled windows)
or we can call a full restack when a tiled window appears and do
nothing with it in restackfocused()
well it still needs some thinking (it would be easier if the X window
stack could be manipulated more straightforwardly)
