Description
Hopefully this isn't off topic here;
Does tmuxp provide an alternative to TPM/tmux-resurrect?
I'd like something where all the programs aren't written in bash, and tmux-resurrect + tmux-continuum has some problems.
tmuxp's --freeze option sounds good, but at least restoring scrollback, and at least maybe for bash, somehow having per-pane history files would be nice. (I managed to get this working relatively ok for the above plugins once....)
Is tmuxp / libtmux appropriate for attempting a better reimplementation of these?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing tmuxp's --freeze behavior and the libtmux integration, then compare the requested session restoration with tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum. The scope includes scrollback restoration and possible per-pane bash history files; done would require a defined, agreed alternative rather than only a feasibility discussion.
