Perspectives for Emacs

The Perspective package provides multiple named workspaces (or "perspectives") in Emacs, similar to multiple desktops in window managers like Awesome and XMonad, and Spaces on the Mac. Each perspective has its own buffer list and its own window layout, along with some other isolated niceties, like the xref ring. This makes it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost in all the buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window configuration, and when in a perspective, only its buffers are available (by default). Each Emacs frame has a distinct list of perspectives. Perspective supports saving its state to a file, so long-lived work sessions may be saved and recovered as needed.
