"""
since-last plugin for rawdog, by Adam Sampson <ats@offog.org>

When writing output, only include articles that haven't previously been
written. This is probably what you want if you run "rawdog -w" by hand whenever
you want to read feeds.

This assumes that new articles will only be added at the end of the output
(i.e. using it in conjunction with sortbyfeeddate is not a good idea).
