That sounds good. I don’t know if I’ll go as far as building it, but that 
sounds like the kind of thing I was envisaging.

On reflection, the “item not found”-type behaviour that we can already 
implement is probably sufficient. When the app gets to that point, it _knows_ 
the user’s data was stale when they made the selection. Retrieving the object 
somehow (if it still exists) and presenting it as though nothing went wrong 
probably isn’t the least surprising thing the app could do.
