As you say, the -S syntax is shorter, which was why I implemented it.
There is a middle ground as well, though. As proposed earlier in this
thread, one could define a function:
function save_function
for i in $argv
functions $i >~/.fish.d/functions/$i.fish
end
end
to make the effort of 'saving' a function much smaller without
bloating the shell with more features. I'm not sure yet, but I'm
leaning towards including a function like that with fish, so that you
can simply issue a command like 'save_function foo' once the 'foo'
function works the way you want. Slightly more verbose, but less bloat
in the shell.

You can replace ~ with $HOME. More verbose, but most keyboards have a
$ character! :)
