Global Store: Focus

[jaunkst]

Opening this RFC up for discussion so that I can come to an ideal solution. Thanks!

More advanced layout modes (e.g. a full Flexbox implementation, CSS grid) will also need a similar mechanism to store data on a widget and retrieve in from other widgets (i.e. parents need to be able to read styles off their children, and this should work without the children specifically adding support for the parent.

I would suggest that a mechanism that allows the storage and retrieval of arbitrary types would make more sense than one that hardcodes a specific type.
