I'm trying to test "remember me" functionality and to test it manually I would login and tick 'remeber me', then close the browser, reopen the browser and return to the site which would treat me as logged in.

Ideally I'd be able to do something like:

Scenario Outline: Checking 'Remember Me' should persist login across browser sessions.
Given I am on the home page
  And a user exists with username "<username>" and password "<username>" and email "<email>"
  And the user "<username>" has been activated
When I fill in "authentication_email" with "<email>"
  And I fill in "authentication_password" with "<password>"
  And I check "authentication[remember_me]"
  And I press "Login"
  And I restart the browser
  And I visit the home page
Then I should see "Welcome, <username>!"
  And I should see "You are logged in."

  Examples:
    | username | password | email                      |
    | george   | george   | george-test123@example.com |

This was raised in ticket #80 but it seems that since the ticket was already marked wontfix the followup examples of where this feature would be valid were not seen or responded to.
