/*
 * The logic is as follows:
 * - The most recent (i.e., topmost) item can be open ("in flux")
 * - The item is closed by either a timeout (3 min or so) or a
 *   "terminal action" (e.g., closing all files)
 * - While the item is open, modifications to the set of open files
 *   will modify that item instead of creating new items
 * - If the open item is modified to be equal to an existing item,
 *   the existing item is deleted, but will be re-created when the
 *   open item is modified even further
 * Cases (actions in parentheses are no-ops):
 * - identical to top item => (do nothing)
 * - closed, new item => insert at top, (clear marker)
 * - closed, existing item => move to top, mark for cloning
 * - open, new item, not marked => replace top, (clear marker)
 * - open, new item, marked => insert at top, clear marker
 * - open, existing item, not marked => replace top, delete copy, mark for cloning
 * - open, existing item, marked => insert at top, delete copy, (mark for cloning)
 * - closing clears marker
