Easy now... no one is going to get hurt. This is an idea, not a feature
request.
We already have:
recentCards
recentNames
lockRecent
Would it be useful to have any/all of these:
recentDirectories (list of all directories that have been "the
directory")
recentFiles (list of all files that have been opened)
recentURLs (list of all HTTP URLs that have been loaded/gotten)
recentSockets (list of all connections that have been
accepted?/opened?)
Some or all the above might need locking capability like "lockRecent".
