global state saving would be also important for pd to support LASH.
with LASH a session could be stored to a file, and restored later.
that means: every program will reopen all its open documents, and every
document would restore its state

actually a bunch of programs support that (seq24, patchage, vkeybd,
muse, meterbridge, dino), would be great to see pd in that list...


and even if it is a complex task, having widgets save their state move
one step forward into that direction! ;)
