Except of course when I'm just doodling and don't want the system to 
save over something at the point I forced a save by using the Save 
command. Otherwise, I might have to multiple undo to back out of the 
changes, and who knows, maybe I screwed up the undo tree in that 
process?

Another nice idea that has a wealth of problems in real world execution.
