Comment (by vbraun):
Just to clarify, save() should of course still save the file on the remote
file system. It just should **in addition** get the file to the client.
Tying it to the displayhook already gives you a means to control whether
or not the file is downloaded. Also, if you really just save a temporary
file on the server you are more likely to do that form within code so it
wouldn't be downloaded anyway. There could be other switches, maybe
`foo.save(download=False)` or %download [on|off]`. But just `foo.save()`
should by default do something sensible. If you don't like the default you
can then look into the docs. But if you only notice that `save()` doesn't
result in a file on your laptop then the user is going to assume that this
is the way it is.
