It should be relatively easy to put them in an Associative Array of
Circ_Type (circled arrays from circle.sl) -- one stack for each type.

This sounds like a very nice extension to recent.sl. Maybe one could combine

then replace Mini_History["file"] with the last opened/saved filenames (or
just initialize it on startup?)
