---------------------+---------------------------
 As per some Slack discussions with @cypher the status API isn't quite
 working for GridSync. Currently, the status API gives you:

  - all currently pending or active operations
  - a history of the last 20 operations

 So, if you happen to call the API "fast enough" you could know everything
 that it has done. It might be better to base the size of the history queue
 on "time" rather than number of items. Some ideas in this regard:

  - history is "last X seconds"
  - ALL history is kept as long as new upload/downloads are added or
 pending; some defined time after that, they will disappear (better
 wording?)
