Hm... is that really necessary, though? With that xref it seems pretty
clear that the user should go to that node for more info on everything
connected with input focus, I think...

The emacs lisp reference doesn’t mention focus-in-hook and its -out-
variant, except in a list of hooks. Yet it contains some discussion of
focus events. To make it clear that the hooks exist, I’ve added a
reference to them in the attached patch.
