While I appreciate all your work on evince, I find it annoying how
evince is totally non-configurable and how evince thinks it knows best
about what behaviours to support.

I would find it totally useful to have 100 documents open at once.
Then I'd be able to close files as I finish processing them. For
instance, I had 95 PDFs (assignment submissions) that I needed to
print this week. I had to use the command line to print them. It was
annoying, especially since printing them from the command line somehow
resulted in getting multiple copies of a lot of them when the print
job restarted.
