What's the status of this patch? May I ask if you have plans to continue
with it?

Speaking of multiple AF windows --- I originally thought we could just have
multiple selection targets for them. I'm not sure which one would be better;
multiple selection targets or another field telling the window ID. In case
of the former we'd leave a largish gap for additional window IDs.

I think I'm leaning towards using one reserved field for the purpose.

Another question I had was that which of the selection rectangles would the
AF rectangle be related to? Is it the compose bounds rectangle, or the crop
bounds rectangle, for example? I thought it might make sense to use another
field to tell that, since I think which one this really is related to is
purely hardware specific.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
