You both are failing to simply recursively apply WRegion.current,
until something interesting is found. Something like:

reg=cwin:screen_of()

function scan(reg)
    if not reg then
        return nil
    elseif obj_is(reg, "WFrame") then
        return reg:attach(cwin)
    elseif ... then
        ...
    else
        return scan(reg:current())
    end
end

scan(cwin:screen_of())

Maybe it indeed makes sense to use WTiling attach if discovered,
as it can better find something useful, if the current isn't actually
a frame (unlikely).
