This is the first time I'm modifying data instead of just displaying it.
And this commit is a mess, it's all over the place with duplicating
types and breaking my class layers.
But it works, technically, so, whatever, checkpoint!
I need to totally start reworking the base client library as I'm not
happy with it at all. Also, it turns out that we have very little type
protection on the "set" methods. I had a totally improper signature for
about an hour that led to useless debugging. Reading the standard, which
is excellent, helped me get sorted out, but they type checker should be
helping me.
Additionally, I should be creating this Account class type within the
client.
This includes a bunch of new things. I've introduced "ensureEmail..." to
indicate that the UI would like some data to be populated, but if it is
already present we don't need to do anything.
I've also introduced a cache for emails that is keyed on the email ID. I
don't know if email IDs are unique. They look like they should be
globally unique within a given server, but I'm not sure and the standard
is unclear. It'll need some experimentation.
