That's what we have right now... the discussion is basically about that
one line which repeats the "next focussed window finding algorithm after
view change" in focus(). Szabolcs (and myself) are basically making the case
that doing a focus() call before layout->arrange() doesn't change anything
for dwm but helps our new tile() to know about the selected window without
re-running dwm's focus history algorithm.
The question is basically about abstracting away 'stack' with just 'sel' for
tile() [Currently, sel is pretty much useless in tile()]. But I guess you
are right, let us expose the full focus history stack to tile() and let *it*
choose what is wants to query from it. We are basically making a case for an
uptodate 'sel' too in tile().
