In general I agree that stacked or nested sheets are not good.  But like
everything in life, there are exceptions.  I think the "do you want to
replace?" case is one such exception.  Closing the save panel would be
annoying, because if you decide against replacing you then need to show
the save panel again.  App-wide modality is a worse evil.  So in this
case it's the least bad choice, IMHO.
