Title. I'd like to access the list of files outside of nvim environment.

This file contains Lua bytecode, so it is difficult to read it from outside of Neovim.

One suggestion is that we can export a function to load file_frecency.bin to output JSON. Such as,

$ nvim +FrecencyExportJSON +q
{"foo":{"bar":[...]}}

You need such command? What is your usecase?
