                Accepting that element was obviously a mistake - so let's undo it!

                Example problem (RECENCY = 3):    0 1 12 3 4 5 6
                    0 1 12 is accepted. 3, 4, 5 will be rejected because they are larger than the last kept item (12).
                    When we get to 5 we reach num_dropped_in_row == RECENCY.
                    This will trigger an undo where we drop the 12.
                    When we again go to 3, we will keep it because it is larger than the last kept item (1).

                Example worst-case (RECENCY = 3):   ...100 101 102 103 104 1 2 3 4 5 ....
                    100-104 is accepted. When we get to 3 we reach num_dropped_in_row == RECENCY.
                    We drop 104 and reset the read by RECENCY. We restart, and then we drop again.
                    This can lead us to backtracking RECENCY number of elements
                    as many times as the leading non-decreasing subsequence is long.
