Before I commit to consuming this chapter, I need to set a goal.
Working via successive refinement, is this valid/reasonable: ?
How to make a hidden/covered frame 'pop up'?
How to know that it is hidden?
That seems complex, so first just <show the list-of-frames to be able to,
manually check if the target IS hidden>.
=> Traverse the SystemTrack's frame tree, while listing FrameNames.
If the hidden-one is to be made visible, perhaps it could just <change places>
with a visible one?
Which would best be manually controlled - using the same list-of-frames.

Ideas, crits ??

Thanks,
