And this one from etc/TODO:

  ** "Perspectives" are named persistent window configurations.  We have
  had the window configuration mechanism in GNU Emacs since the
  beginning but we have never developed a good user interface to take
  advantage of them.  Eclipse's user interface seems to be good.

  Perspectives work well even if you do the equivalent of C-x 4 C-f
  because of the distinction between view windows vs file windows.  In
  Emacs this is more or less the "dedicated window" feature, but we have
  never really made it work for this.

  Perspectives also need to interact with the tabs.
