Our existing Notebook class (notebook.js) will have to be refactored
into two pieces:
Worksheet (which manages a sequence of cells)
Notebook (which manages a sequence of worksheets)
This is a serious amount of JS coding, not particularly hard, but
there are a lot of moving pieces.
* Then there is the creation of the UI within these classes.
* We will also probably have to do some new layout logic to manage the
scrolling properly.
* Finally, there are issues with focus/refresh/etc. These will be
pretty subtle.
