What kind of intransparent, fragile "backup" would that be? You hit the window's close button and that "backup" is gone. In my opinion, that's not a "backup".

We might reduce some confusion be (re)labelling workspaces editing files as 'FileWorkspace'. I've never noticed any confusion with the general case of Workspace and 'accept'; all it has ever done (we're talking around 40 years practice here) is save the content to a string as a backup. I*like* being able to save to a file as an option but it isn't the only use case.
