 easily manage many migrations in parallel, i.e., its submap list may
 be several maps long, each one for an in-progress file migration.

+** Append to existing file when possible
+
+In the earliest Machi FLU implementation, it was impossible to append
+to the same file after ~30 seconds.  For example:
+
+- Client: ~append(prefix="foo",...) -> {ok,"foo^suffix1",Offset1}~
+- Client: ~append(prefix="foo",...) -> {ok,"foo^suffix1",Offset2}~
+- Client: ~append(prefix="foo",...) -> {ok,"foo^suffix1",Offset3}~
+- Client: sleep 40 seconds
+- Server: after 30 seconds idle time, stop Erlang server process for
+  the ~"foo^suffix1"~ file
+- Client: ...wakes up...
+- Client: ~append(prefix="foo",...) -> {ok,"foo^suffix2",Offset4}~
+
+Our ideal append behavior is to always append to the same file.  Why?
+It would be nice if Machi didn't create zillions of tiny files if the
+client appends to some prefix very infrequently.  In general, it is
+better to create fewer & bigger files by re-using a Machi file name
+when possible.
+
+The sequencer should always assign new offsets to the latest/newest
+file for any prefix, as long as all prerequisites are also true,
+
+- The epoch has not changed.  (In AP mode, epoch change -> mandatory file name suffix change.)
+- The latest file for prefix ~p~ is smaller than maximum file size for a FLU's configuration.
