Persistence

[TBurchfield]

Cursello needs to have persistence. This largely involves

• Some sort of write command to write out the state to some sort of file. I would prefer to use pickle, unless you have a different suggestion.
• Some sort of "Are you sure you want to quit without saving?" prompt if the state has changed it was last written out.
• Most importantly, loading this information on start.

Upon consideration, something like yaml might work better, so that it's human readable.

YAML is the easiest to parse on the command line with shell tools as well.

I'd propose a YAML module that stores a dictionary mapping List Names to lists of items (similar to how the runtime stores things) and checking for file at startup before using a default configuration (from a defaults file) and adding a trap to dump current state of cursello board on exit.

I would start storing list files in ~/.cursello/

Can start on this now if no one else wants it.
