Not really - I think there was some code developed to persist sessions
in terms of sets of outlines (tabs), but not multiple editors in one
outline.

Basically we need the body editor to not be a singleton thing, and then
free_layout can do all kinds of things, including persistent multiple
editors.  Sounds like Edward's looking into the possibilities again, so
fingers crossed.

For simplicity I'm assuming we'd just drop the old add-editor -> split
body area approach, and just let the user use free_layout to set up
whatever body editors they wanted.

Cheers -Terry
