------------------------------+----------------------------
In a browser-based notebook an object's `save()` method should
automatically download the saved file and not just let it linger on the
remote server.
I'm proposing to do this by returning, from `save()`, a `SavedFile` object
instead of nothing. The `SavedFile._rich_repr_` method then returns a
custom rich representation which gives browser-based display backends a
hook to do something with the saved file. Also, nothing happens if you
call save() from within code---only if it hits the displayhook:
{{{
sage: my_plot.save() # yes, download
sage: _ = my_plot.save() # no automatic download
sage: for i in range(10):
....: my_plot.save() # depends
sage: for i in range(10):
....: my_plot.save() # no
....: x = x + i
}}}
