this actually looks like something that would make me keep the welcome
page enabled in my settings! The only minor extra bit I have so far, is
that as the last item of the recent files lists, we'd add something like
"<choose another file>".

_Possibly_ also a list of data.frames in the globalenv(), aka "My data
in this workspace"?

When we have to generate those lists at least once, anyway, it will make
a lot of sense to keep them up-to-date.

Looks reasonable to me. BTW, implementation-wise, I'd like to keep this
just like one of the other pages, only with some extra magic tags to
create those dynamic lists, and a custom CSS file.
