Claims a chart for examination, so a caller examines it once per set of
inputs rather than once per DOM mutation.
A verdict is reached from plotly's _fullData and calcdata, which it
builds afresh whenever it recomputes a chart and leaves alone otherwise — a
pan or a zoom keeps them, as does a mutation elsewhere on the page. An
unchanged pair therefore means an unchanged verdict and no claim, while new
traces, or the points a chart was drawn without, yield a new pair and a
fresh one. (Were a future plotly to recompute a chart in place instead, the
pair would look unchanged and the chart would stop being re-examined.)
A chart plotly has not computed yet is not claimed either, and nothing is
recorded for it, so it can be claimed once it has been.
