Editors are saved into a persisted per-folder "slot" for later retrieval. This basically means that saving the open editors for one opened folder, will not overwrite or interfere with saving/restoring/clearing editors in another opened folder.
NOTE: Since VS Code doesn't yet support any API to access opened editors (see vscode #15178), this extension employs what amounts to a hack to gain access to them. As such there are many limitations in what can currently be saved and restored -- it is basically limited to only file-based text documents.
