There certainly needs to be a notion of which buffer
has the keyboard focus. But I was thinking of the way
that lots of elisp code uses current-buffer as a
kind of implicit parameter, when it really has
nothing to do with keyboard focus. The fact that
there exist things like with-buffer is a testament
to this.
