// - when we load up a new project with some instances with numbered labels, how do we keep
// track of new instances relative to these old ones?
// - the old implementation just iterated through all the instances of a particular genus in the
// workspace and compared a possible label to the current labels of that genus. if there
// wasn't
// any current label that matched the possible label, it returned that label. do we want to
