(c) On the window menu other than Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize,

"Always on top". A video, or news is playing on an "always on top"
window and you work
on something else. Or you copy-paste from a lower window to the
"always on top" forward window.
The latter use is very-very useful (with focus follows mouse enabled).
This seems like a reasonable request, as it is something that many
window managers support. Z-order locking doesn't seem like it would be
hard to implement.
In the meantime, have you ever experiemented with disabling Raise on
Activate? This way, keyboard focus still follows mouse, but you need to
click the titlebar (or f.circle_up) to actually raise a window. I find
it invaluable for the type of functionality you describe (copying text
around, etc.). Try it sometime; see what you think.

Yes, this is how I work. Not with auto raise. However, what you suggest
is useful
only if the cursor is in the correct position.
If one needs to adjust the cursor by clicking, then
it does not work, because the window will raise,
and the "Always on top" functionality is a must.
Moreover, "Always on top" is useful for other tricks too. For example
you may want
the CDE dock to be always on top; a reasonable request. Or you may want
to have big
clock (cairo-clock or TzClock) on the top right of your screen that
should not be covered by apps.
