I think I found this problem once in the past, and couldn't think of an 
elegant solution.

If that immutable traps patch of mine is ok, then we can trap _root. 
When a null root is passed, we can remove the focusable from the list. 
And obviously add it back if a new root is passed.

That would let focusable clean up after itself without the developer 
giving it a bib.
