Given this definition of "active"

        case
                when csi.clin_when is null then false
                -- from here on csi.clin_when cannot be null
                when (csi.clin_when > current_timestamp) is true then false
                -- from here on csi.clin_when must be < current_timestamp and 
not null
                when is_long_term is true then true
                -- from here on csi.is_long_term must be false or null
                when (csi.clin_when + csi.duration > current_timestamp) is true 
then true
                when (csi.clin_when + csi.duration < current_timestamp) is true 
then false
                -- from here on csi.duration must be null
                else null
        end::boolean
                as is_currently_active,

plus the current state of the edit widget there's two ways
to make a drug currently "inactive":

- set .clin_when == started into the future

        this might serve for drugs handed to the patient but
        instructed to not start just yet

- set .duration such that .clin_when + .duration is in the past

        this will happen automatically as time goes by and
        render previously administered drugs inactive - which
        will then disappear from the default active-only list
        but will not yet be deleted from the table as such

Later we may want to add more ways of rendering a drug
inactive, such as a better differentiation between
.intended_duration and .actual_duration (akin to
.last_actually_taken).
