sessionmanager.lua

-- A very simplistic session manager. It opens previously open files and restores
-- cursor position and scroll position. It is not perfect, for example it does
-- not keep track of the order or in which view the files are in. This code must
-- be ran during startup. This is just a demonstration of how to use the API
-- and what can be done in a small amount of Lua.
