-- Test cases:
-- 1. iTerm2 running, has windows open. Should open a new window for Alfred command.
-- 2. iTerm2 running, no windows open. Should open a new window for Alfred command.
-- 3. iTerm2 not running, set to restores arrangement. Should not restore arrangement but open a new window for the Afred command.
-- 4. iTerm2 not running. No windows to restore. Should open a single window for the Alfred command.
-- 5. iTerm2 not running. Has windows to restore. Restores windows and then opens a new window for the Alfred command.
-- Compose a script. This is necessary because compiling in a 'tell application' command causes the app to be launched, which would happen prior to the creation of the quiet file.
