Many terminals in one, save-able, restart-able, session.

Con Requires latest version of Windows 10
Con Cannot have a mix of elevated and non elevated tabs
Con Unstable and buggy
Sometimes freezes and/or crashes.
Con Configured via (mostly) documented json
Con Slow
Con Doesn't have feature "Open Context Menu"
