Don't ask me, I'm not familiar with the current IDE interfaces and
layout management :-(
AFAIR the ElasticSite demo demonstrates the available docking features,
including persistence. What remains to do is the integration of docking
and persistence into the IDE.

The SynDualView is nice, it only lacks the same set of features for
every view.

I'm also busy with many other things <sigh>. In the next step I'll add
top-level docking to the EasyDockSite. From the user VP this is only a
minor extension, but it does not fit nicely into the existing
implementation.
Perhaps we should open an branch for a dockable IDE with full support of
multiple editor windows. The interfaces deserve a lot of refactoring for
this model, that should not affect the proper operation of the current
Lazarus IDE. Also the LDockTree manager and TabView should be replaced
by the new implementation.
