;;; Commentary:

;; This library provides multisession variables for Emacs Lisp, to
;; make them persist between sessions.
;;
;; Use `define-multisession-variable' to define a multisession
;; variable, and `multisession-value' to read its value.  Use
;; `list-multisession-values' to list multisession variables.
;;
;; Users might want to customize `multisession-storage' and
;; `multisession-directory'.
;;
;; See Info node `(elisp) Multisession Variables' for more
;; information.
