Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44243 (project screen):

That's vexing, but if it's the limit of what can be done I'd take what I can
get-- saving windows and their titles would be substantially more than I
already have.

layout dump sounds...close?  At least according to the random man page I
found[0].  Confusingly, layouts don't appear to be documented in the screen
manual[1] at all, so it's not clear what a layout is, exactly.  My impression
is it's about window splits, which I don't actually use... I guess I'll try to
build myself a recent-enough screen to test it later (a pox on Red Hat's
packaging policies).

> saving the environment before each prompt

Interesting idea, though I'm really not sure how to scale it simply and
transparently.

Believe me, I've tried. But company policy trumps common sense and "routine
reboots" are a thing. :(
