Asking whether to save would destroy the high interactivity that is what I
most want from IDLE. With this as the highest priority, the issue of how to
retreat to earlier versions of a project has a different flavor. It would
be done either with a flexible un-do mechanism, or users would be taught to
do "save a copy" occasionally.
