		//.. warning::
		//   If you pause every torrent individually instead of pausing the
		//   session, every torrent will have its paused state saved in the
		//   resume data!
		// 
		//.. warning::
		//   The resume data contains the modification timestamps for all files.
		//   If one file has been modified when the torrent is added again, the
		//   will be rechecked. When shutting down, make sure to flush the disk
		//   cache before saving the resume data. This will make sure that the
		//   file timestamps are up to date and won't be modified after saving
		//   the resume data. The recommended way to do this is to pause the
		//   torrent, which will flush the cache and disconnect all peers.
		// 
		//.. note::
		//   It is typically a good idea to save resume data whenever a torrent
		//   is completed or paused. In those cases you don't need to pause the
		//   torrent or the session, since the torrent will do no more writing to
		//   its files. If you save resume data for torrents when they are
		//   paused, you can accelerate the shutdown process by not saving resume
		//   data again for paused torrents. Completed torrents should have their
		//   resume data saved when they complete and on exit, since their
		//   statistics might be updated.
		// 
		//	In full allocation mode the reume data is never invalidated by
		//	subsequent writes to the files, since pieces won't move around. This
		//	means that you don't need to pause before writing resume data in full
		//	or sparse mode. If you don't, however, any data written to disk after
		//	you saved resume data and before the session closed is lost.
		// 
		// It also means that if the resume data is out dated, libtorrent will
		// not re-check the files, but assume that it is fairly recent. The
		// assumption is that it's better to loose a little bit than to re-check
		// the entire file.
		// 
		// It is still a good idea to save resume data periodically during
		// download as well as when closing down.
		// 
		// Example code to pause and save resume data for all torrents and wait
		// for the alerts:
		// 
		// .. code:: c++
		// 
		//	extern int outstanding_resume_data; // global counter of outstanding resume data
		//	std::vector<torrent_handle> handles = ses.get_torrents();

		//		if (!s.need_save_resume_data()) continue;
		//
		//		h.save_resume_data();
		//		++outstanding_resume_data;
