This is the kind of discussion I was probing for. Some of the reasons that
an individual prefers one program over another are stylistic preferences
that I can safely paraphrase as "my dog is better than your dog". Those
preferences are valid, but I might not be able, or not willing, to change
WL to suite.

However, the "auto-clear of a dupe when you tune away" is a feature WL
could probably have. Heaven knows how many features appeared first in WL
that have been copied elsewhere, so I won't apologize for copying this
one. (And to give credit where due: WL implements dozens if not hundreds
of features that first appeared in CT/NA/TR)
