Comment (by vbraun):
From a user these are two different activities:
* checkpointing the current worksheet
* creating a media file to be used elsewhere
I agree that its confusing that both are called "save", and it all goes
back to the time when Word would crash every 30 minutes so you better save
your document to three different floppies. Now we still call it save and
we often even have a little picture of a floppy disc under it (anyone
remember these?), but its really just a pragmatic idiom for checkpointing
nowadays (see also https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPEP-15
