 I don't mind additional arguments with a higher level of abstraction. But 
if you want "show" as a preview to "save" (as in methods 3 and 4), then 
"show" should support all the options "save" does. So that when switching 
the method name we don't have to translate all the keyword arguments. I 
guess that when specific low-level format requirements are stated, then 
failing to satisfy them should be an error for the sake of simplicity and 
consistency, but on this point my opinion is not as strong as on supporting 
all "save" arguments for "show".
