	Assuming that #16211 is resolved, adding desktop support to EWW
	seems pretty natural.  (Why, Info already has one.)

	One thing to save is, obviously, eww-current-url.  The other is
	eww-history, but that has to be filtered for the overly bulky
	:text, :dom, and :source properties.

	The last part poses a problem, as eww-restore-history does /not/
	currently handle the case where :text is missing.  A possible
	solution is to use (eww-reload) if :text is nil.  As a side
	effect, eww-current-source and eww-current-dom will also be set.

	Also, AIUI, for the EWW history facility to work properly,
	eww-history-position is also to be saved, which is possible via
	desktop-locals-to-save.

	For anyone eager to try, the patch I suggest is MIMEd.

	This change looks quite substantial to be copyrightable, so I’d
	like to explicitly disclaim copyright on it, as per
	CC0 Public Domain Dedication [0].

	For the most part, eww-desktop-history-1 function is a kind of
	‘reduce’ or ‘remove-if’ for property lists.  Alas, I didn’t find
	any existing function for that, so I coded it the explicit way.
