Research direction

Start at the :Obsession entry point and review how session files currently handle options and maps. The proposal mentions preserving path and tags and accepting them as :Obsession options; done would require an agreed scope and behavior for those values.

Description

Hi Tim:

Don't capture options and maps. Options are sometimes mutilated and maps just interfere with updating plugins.

I agree about mappings, but I think It would be pretty useful to save path and tags, and even allow to pass them as options to :Obsession, that way every session could be more like an IDE project, but ala Vim. What do you think?
