//! This module remembers what a job really used, and gives the claim for the
//! next job of the same kind.
//!
//! A claim is an estimate. An agent that does not know the size of a task gives
//! `guess`, which claims one half of the budget. That claim is safe, and it is
//! also frequently far too large: a test suite that uses 165MB can hold 10GB of
//! the budget and stop other work for the length of the run.
//!
//! qex already measures each job. This module keeps those measurements and uses
//! them, so the claim becomes accurate without any effort from the agent.
//!
//! # What this module records
//!
//! The key is the directory and the command together, and not the name. A name
//! is for a person to read, and one program does very different work:
//!
//! - `cargo build` and `cargo test` have one program name and very different
//!   needs, so the command must be in the key.
//! - `cargo test` in a small library and `cargo test` in a large program have
//!   one command and very different needs, so the directory must be in the key
//!   as well.
//!
//! A job can name a different command to be measured against. `qex submit
//! --each-line` does that: the command of each job holds one line of the input
//! and is used one time only, so the jobs of one fan-out measure against their
//! template. See `JobSpec::learn_key`.
//!
//! The record holds a hash of those two values, and never the values
//! themselves. A command line can hold a token or a password, and a directory
//! names the work of a user. This file must not become a second place that
//! holds either.
//!
//! # Which jobs qex records
//!
//! A job that COMPLETED, and nothing else. The job did all its work, so its
//! peak is the memory that the job needs.
//!
//! A job that did NOT complete gives the memory that it REACHED, which is the
//! size at which something stopped it, and that number says nothing about the
//! memory that the job needs. A sample from such a job would make the next
//! claim too small, and the next job would stop in the same way. That covers a
//! job that somebody stopped, a job that reached its time limit, and a job that
//! the kernel stopped for memory.
//!
//! # A file of an earlier qex
//!
//! An earlier qex wrote a second kind of sample, a `lower-bound`, after a kill
//! for memory. This version writes none and uses none, and it still READS one,
//! because the store loads as ONE value: a word that this version could not
//! read would give an empty store and take every peak of every command with it.
//! `suggest` passes over such a sample, and a command whose only history is one
//! gives no claim at all.
