Description
Tracking issue, details tbd: we should have some API that lets the use save and load data from some set of named locations, like the 'program files' location, the 'temporary directory' location, etc.
There is also the topic of applications being able to store configuration files and other runtime created files in platform idiomatic locations. While that I feel is probably more in the wheelhouse of
druid-shellit's at least tangentially relevant to this discussion.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #1047 and the discussion quoted here, then consider how druid-shell relates to platform-idiomatic application storage. Done would require a defined API for saving and loading data from named locations such as program files and temporary directories, including configuration and runtime-created files.
