Good in itself, I just cannot switch from Hyperbole to Burly as Hyperbole has essentially that what you described. Only it does not save configurations over sessions. I can add various named window or frame configurations, or not named, I can then go into them by name quickly or restore everything to where I was. I do appreciate influx of new Emacs Packages. Yet it would be useful if programmer would look into what is already available or widely used. Check out GNU Hyperbole!
