  - focus: preserve ActiveId/focus stack state, e.g. when opening a menu and close it, previously selected InputText() focus gets restored (#622)
  - focus: SetKeyboardFocusHere() on with >= 0 offset could be done on same frame (else latch and modulate on beginning of next frame)
  - focus: unable to use SetKeyboardFocusHere() on clipped widgets. (#787)

+ - inputs: we need an explicit flag about whether the imgui window is focused, to be able to distinguish focused key releases vs alt-tabbing all release behaviors.
  - inputs: rework IO system to be able to pass actual ordered/timestamped events. use an event queue? (~#335, #71)
  - inputs: support track pad style scrolling & slider edit.
