Thanks for clarifying. I suppose that covers most of my usecase, though I think there's not much difference between saving and auto-saving, as the latter could be simply implemented as a run-at-times with the former if one can tolerate a bit of loss. "Saving" is a more universal feature and probably needed by more people other than me, and I'll be content to have a "saving" which I can use run-at-times to risk losing the bit in the time interval.
