/**
* Synchronize multiple tabs over LocalStorage.
*
* This class elects one tab as the "Leader". It remains the leader until it
* is closed.
*
* Tabs can conditionally call a function if they are the leader using
* @{method:callIfLeader}. This will trigger leader election, and call the
* function if the current tab is elected. This can be used to keep one
* websocket open across a group of tabs, or play a sound only once in response
* to a server state change.
*
* Tabs can broadcast messages to other tabs using @{method:broadcast}. Each
* message has an optional ID. When a tab receives multiple copies of a message
* with the same ID, copies after the first copy are discarded. This can be
* used in conjunction with @{method:callIfLeader} to allow multiple event
* responders to trigger a reaction to an event (like a sound) and ensure that
* it is played only once (not once for each notification), and by only one
* tab (not once for each tab).
*
* Finally, tabs can register a callback which will run if they become the
* leading tab, by listening for `onBecomeLeader`.
