 Background: I recently interacted with a site creator who posted this
 topic in the WordPress.org support forums:

 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-new-post-screen-layout/

 Upon further exploration, I noted that it is possible to toggle various
 panes (especially pertaining to plugin features) to display or not
 display.

 However, if you toggle them to display (the default setting), the editor
 screen/viewport can become quite small, as much real estate is reserved
 for these panes.

 If a user toggles the panes to NOT display, it is not ideal, as they may
 need access to these panes sporadically.

 A possible solution would be to enable state memory. Essentially, each
 pane can be expanded or collapsed using a small arrow in the top right of
 the pane already.

 MY FEATURE REQUEST:
 Remember the state of each pane so that when the user returns to the
 editor, the various panes are in their last state (expanded or collapsed).
