So, if one doesn't want other_dir to be saved automatically (like me), how 
do you propose to achieve this if the current behavior is modified such 
that it is excluded from panel autosave option? Introduce yet another 
micro-option specifically for other_dir?

Right now, it's quite straightforward: you either get all or nothing. You 
like the state being carried over? Enable autosave, which is available as 
an option, but not on by default. You don't want this? Keep it off.

You propose to decouple this for some chosen option, that is other_dir, 
and then we'll surely get someone complaining that he wants to be able to 
turn it off, so now we'll have to introduce yet another option ("carry 
over other_dir" and "carry over all other state").

How about just enabling autosave and letting it be? Or else, try mc^2 ;-)
