Fwd: [PATCH] frame.c: focus hooks

[Bozhidar Batsov]

That's the terminology used in several GUI libraries (and in client-side web) when you want to listen for focus events. Anyways, the name is not particularly important - if X is using "FocusIn" and "FocusOut" and Emacs uses the X terminology that's fine.

I've never heard "gain focus".  I think focus-in-hook and focus-out-hook
look fine to me.  At least, "FocusIn" and "FocusOut" are the terms used
by the X library, and so far Emacs has followed this naming convention.
