Provide API to set focus on widget

tabris.js should provide API to set the input focus on a specific widget. For example

var input = tabris.create( "TextInput", { ... } );
input.focus();
// or
page.set( "focus", input );

any word on this? we have a lot of users who want textviews to receive focus immediately (so the keyboard appears automatically ). Tapping them to receive focus is not a huge effort but for text entries that are used all the time, that one extra steps adds up quickly

thanks

@tbuschto brought up the question why we don’t implement it as a property, e.g. widget.set('focused', true). A property would also allow to query the focused state of a widget. It would be an interactive property, i.e. it can change on the client. Also focusing one widget would reset another widget’s focused state. However, thinking about tabs or radio buttons, this behavior doesn’t seem uncommon.
