+   'sowm' doesn't keep track of the currently focused window
+   and instead grabs window under the cursor when needed.
+
+   This is a super lazy way of handling current focus, however
+   it aligns perfectly with mouse-follows-focus.
+
+   Logic below will select a real window if this function
+   returns the 'root' window.
+
+   This function returns the current window while at the same
+   time defining a global variable to contain its value. This
+   allows for stupidily simple usage.
+
+   Example: if (win_current() != root) XKillClient(d, cur);
+
+   The value can be used as function output and then
+   the same value can be used as a variable directly afterwards.

+    when focus changes very quickly (e.g a desktop focus).
+
+    There's no use in computing each and every event as we
