Yawn.  In this case I find Stan's argument less than compelling.  The :SAVE
command does not check the creator id.  Therefore, :SAVE will happily save
a file regardless of who created it.  In the past, this was almost certainly
the user who created it, because :SAVE only operates on TEMPORARY files which
are job/session local.  These days, it is perfectly reasonable to have TEMP
files which were created by a different user ID.
