        location bar, we must intercept this by calling checkLocation() at regular intervals. However, if we are programmatically
        changing the location bar ourselves using the add() method, we need to ignore these changes in checkLocation(). Unfortunately,
        these changes take several lines of code to complete, so for the duration of those lines of code, we set this variable to true.
        That signals to checkLocation() to ignore the change-in-progress. Once we're done with our chunk of location-change code in
        add(), we set this back to false. We'll do the same thing when capturing user-entered address changes in checkLocation itself.*/
