// StatusTimeline provides a concurrency-safe sliding-window
// cache of the freshest statuses in a timeline. Internally,
// only StatusMeta{} objects themselves are stored, loading
// the actual statuses when necessary, but caching prepared
// frontend API models where possible.
//
// Notes on design:
//
// Previously, and initially when designing this newer type,
// we had status timeline caches that would dynamically fill
// themselves with statuses on call to Load() with statuses
// at *any* location in the timeline, while simultaneously
// accepting new input of statuses from the background workers.
// This unfortunately can lead to situations where posts need
// to be fetched from the database, but the cache isn't aware
// they exist and instead returns an incomplete selection.
// This problem is best outlined by the follow simple example:
//
// "what if my timeline cache contains posts 0-to-6 and 8-to-12,
// and i make a request for posts between 4-and-10 with no limit,
// how is it to know that it's missing post 7?"
//
// The solution is to unfortunately remove a lot of the caching
// of "older areas" of the timeline, and instead just have it
// be a sliding window of the freshest posts of that timeline.
// It gets preloaded initially on start / first-call, and kept
// up-to-date with new posts by streamed inserts from background
// workers. Any requests for posts outside this we know therefore
// must hit the database, (which we then *don't* cache).
