--[[ ------------------------------------------------- NOTES ]

  [99] order of signals, manage_signal executes the last,
  not the first.

  [0] todo: rewrite the whole thing, but plan ahead this
  time.

      - get regions from machi, this will give us indexes
      - manage signal will mark the global index and punch
        the region_id to the client.
      - it will then draw tabs to the region

  region_expansions:

      - regions can be expanded using the maximixed trick.
      - it will change the geometry of all the clients in
        that region.
      - redrawing the tabbar is not necessary.
      - when toggling, region geometry will also change.


  functions needed:
   
      - get_region(region_id, screen)
      
      - get_regions(screen)

      - get_clients_in_region(region_id, screen): this would
        need to return the ordered list of all the clients
        in the region from the global client list.

        there are multiple strategies that can be used:
        
        c.region_id:
        this wil flap during reload

        geometric comparison: we can compare all client
        geometry to regions geometry. but it will fail for
        expanded/overflowing clients.

      - draw_tabbar(region, screen): it will draw tabbars
        for all the clients in the region.

      - expand_region(direction, region, screen): it will
        expand all the clients in the region. same shortcut
        will reset the expansions. expansions will happen
        in multiple directions, and "center".

  MPV: it appears client flashing could also be an issue.
  MPV for instance starts large briefly and causes an
  update in the wrong region. We need a region.id lookup
  only it seems. We should also consider reading awm rules
  for a region id for placement.

  [4] machi's own region expansion has issues on
  awesome-reload. if we were to expand a region, and then
  do reload, machi-layout would insist to keep the expanded
  layout in its own accord.

  [5] to avoid this, we temporarily set the non floating
  clients region geometry. 

  [4] when the clients become float, we restore this
  geometry. Do note, there is something awkward here, it
  appears no matter what all clients start as float then
  get tiled, so there is a flaw in this logic.

  [9] when windows switch between float and tiled we must
  perform necessary maintenance on the destination and
  source regions. a delayed call was necessary when clients
  become tiled to give awm enough time to draw the widgets
  properly. (*)this floating signal acts weird during
  configuration reloads.

  [8] property::selected gets called the last, by the time
  we are here, we already have the global_client_list to
  draw tabbars. This may appear redundant here, but it's
  good to have this fire up in case the user switches
  tags.

  [7] when removing a tiled client we must update the
  tabbars of others. floating clients do not require any
  cleanup.


  [6] global_client_table is the milestone the tabbars rely
  on. whenever a new client appears we must add to it, and
  when a client is killed we must make sure it is
  removed. 

  [23] global_client_index stores the ordered list of all
  clients available and it is used as a blueprint to keep
  the order of our tablist intact, without this, tabbars
  would go out of order when user focuses via shortcuts
  (run_or_raise).

  [20] cudatext had an awkward issue, I suppose it's the way
  it's rendering its window causing it to register multiple
  times and it would make client.lua throw an invalid
  object error at line 1195. So, it's handled now.
