Some users had expressed interest in a hierarchical file browser (for
files that Geany already has open). I was fiddling around and wrote a
small Tkinter utility that would show what files Geany has open,
sorted by full path name so as to list files together that are in the
same directory, and which provides hot keys to open them (under the
covers it just calls ``geany <file>`` and Geany goes to that file
since it's already open).

The last bit I need is a way to ask Geany what files it has open.
