I have a custom tab navigator that will be attached to a viewstack. It needs
to know if the viewstack's children have been created or not. This could
happen before it is attached to the viewstack or some time after due to
creationPolicy, so I absolutely can't just listen for the creationComplete
event. Once I know it hasn't been created, I can watch it (and am planning
to), but I need a way to check beforehand.
