max / quasi

Say what a meter's proportion may be of, which is not only a static set `Meter`'s doc called the proportion it carries "a static fact" and gave files-written and subtasks-done as the shape. audiofiles' transport is neither: it states a playback position against a duration, re-answered as the host redraws. That was true of the first consumers and never of the restriction. The rule that survives is the narrower one, and it is the one that matters to a renderer: a meter does not tick, so none animates one between answers. Found while ruling on time-based media, which closed with no new member.
