It should let me decide IF and WHEN to store the code contents.

Also, if you tests scripts in a workspace and evaluate them
"outside" of it (e.g. from the command line) I have to copy/paste the
contents back and forth from the Playground to a text editor to
save/modify something that in the past I did with the Workspace.

Yes.

Is not lost, but sometimes I want to reset it (reload) from a previous
saved state. Maybe the latest evaluation isn't what I want to recover.
Also the menu isn't the best option if you have several expressions
that start with the same characters and are indistinguishable from
each other.

I appreciate the "autosave" like feature (although I'd like to be able
to disable it for security paranoid concerns), but I also like to
decide when to save.

But the use case I pointed wasn't about storing the contents outside
of the playground but instead of getting a warning or something when
closing the Playground doing inspection. Sometimes I don't want to
close the playground, just want to reset everything to the original
code pane as if no "Evaluate and Go" was ever ran.
