I use it to save history lists in addition to the default global variables in this list. Yes, you could use it for that, but desktop doesn't have a feature which actually duplicates savehist. > The real duplicates in that area are saveplace.el and desktop.el. desktop.el saves file positions restored once the whole desktop is restored while positions stored by saveplace.el get restored on every file visit. I see. It would be nice to document that contrast in both files. Could you do that?
