// A restart of the program, will expunge the stored state. This obviously takes
// more memory, the further back you wish to index. A change in the index var is
// generally not useful, but it is permitted. Moving it to a smaller value will
// cause older index values to be expunged. If this is undesirable, a max count
// could be added. This was not implemented with efficiency in mind. Since some
// functions might not send out un-changed values, it might also make sense to
// implement a *time* based hysteresis, since this only looks at the last N
// changed values. A time based hysteresis would tick every precision-width, and
