Couldn't Emacs simulate that using something like escreen[1] or
elscreen[2]?
Or maybe with the window-configuration-to-register and jump-to-register
functions.
I'm not sure how those options could be presented the user. Perhaps in a
dropdown menu labeled "Perspectives".
Although the use of registers would require, I think (since I'm not
familiar with the code base), all buffers used on the perspectives to be
created at startup, which would probably increase a lot the startup
time, especially if there is a great number of perspectives.
