I didn't remove anything that makes it obviously class-worthy,
just timestamp checking, and several dicts and sets to store
data.

The original version of that code is just a set of three
functions, but the return result of that version was a single
dict. Once the return value got complicated enough to require
building up a class instance, it became a convenient place to
hang the functions.
