Description
I'm a heavy user of sessions in other software and would like to ask for the same feature to be implemented in MacDown.
I'm presently manually saving screenshots of open documents and tab orders on quit so I can manually restore them on re-open. It's a little time-consuming and a lot irksome, so it would be great if the automatic save of editing sessions on quit and automatic restore on restart could be implemented.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing MacDown's application and document lifecycle to determine where open documents and tab order could be persisted and restored. Done means sessions save automatically on quit and reopen with the same documents and tab order after restart.
