Oh.  I didn't realize that was the case.  I kind of assumed there
was some sort of caching layer in there, so that it wouldn't
requery its backing database on every redraw.

Perhaps I will reconsider the approach, then, in the end.  But
it's worth checking it in for now, I think.

I need to go back and think about RANK again.  I don't remember
the detailed rationale anymore.
