I think the current interfaces (window-state-get|put and
frameset-save|restore, with an optional WRITABLE or IN-SESSION arg)
are way preferable. Seems messy to introduce frameset-writable (or
whatever) when the framesets are intended to be writable and the
in-memory-only case is just an exception.

The difference between a "writable frameset" and a non-writable one is
not a matter of how to print some values, in the sense that you can
decide how to write it just by looking at the value. Some you have to
save in specific ways to be able to restore them.
