             DTRT, but Safari has expressed, in no uncertain terms,
             some disappointment with that approach, so we'll
             heuristicize it: if the previous last message is in view,
             assume the user is at or near the input element and
             scroll this one into view. If that message is NOT in
             view, assume the user is up reading history somewhere and

             them. There are middle grounds here where the user will
             experience a slight UI jolt, but this heuristic mostly
             seems to work out okay. If there was no previous message,
             assume we don't have any messages yet and go ahead and
             scroll this message into view (noting that that scrolling
             is hypothetically a no-op in such cases).

             The wrench in these works are posts with IMG tags, as
             those images are loaded async and the element does not
             yet have enough information to know how far to scroll!
             For such cases we have to delay the scroll until the
             image loads (and we hope it does so before another
             message arrives).

       replaced by a function which returns
       Chat.settings.getBool(thatString) and the string gets assigned
       to the persistentSetting property of this object.

       select: SELECT element (instead of boolValue)

       callback: optional handler to call after setting is modified.
       Its "this" is the options object. If this object has a
       boolValue string or a persistentSetting property, the argument
       passed to the callback is a settings object in the form {key:K,
       value:V}. If this object does not have boolValue string or
       persistentSetting then the callback is passed an event object
       in response to the config option's UI widget being activated,
       normally a 'change' event.

       children: [array of settings objects]. These get listed under
       this element and indented slightly for visual grouping. Only
       one level of indention is supported.

       Elements which only have a label and maybe a hint and
       children can be used as headings.

       If a setting has a boolValue set, that gets rendered as a
       checkbox which toggles the given persistent setting (if
       boolValue is a string) AND listens for changes to that setting
       fired via Chat.settings.set() so that the checkbox can stay in
       sync with external changes to that setting. Various Chat UI
       elements stay in sync with the config UI via those settings
       events. The checkbox element gets added to the options object
       so that the callback() can reference it via this.checkbox.

        We manager onerror() results in poll() in a roundabout

        This level of indirection is necessary to be able to
        unambiguously identify client-timeout-specific polling errors
        from other errors. Timeouts are always announced in pairs of
        an HTTP 0 and something we can unambiguously identify as a
        timeout (in that order). When we receive an HTTP error we put
        it into this queue.  If an ontimeout() call arrives before
        this error is handled, this error is ignored.  If, however, an
        HTTP error is seen without an accompanying timeout, we handle
        it from here.

        It's kinda like in the curses C API, where you to match
        ALT-X by first getting an ESC event, then an X event, but
        this one is a lot less explicable. (It's almost certainly a
        mis-handling bug in F.fetch(), but it has so far eluded my
        eyes.)
