I have a patch that hasn't been merged yet that completely removes the
notion of saving with '$'. It's one of the branches I keep merged in to
the branch I actually use, so I tend to forget it's not upstream. I
should dust it off and resubmit. It will cause a UI-responsiveness
regression for ferret users, but if ferret is going to be deprecated in
the next release then I don't care too much.
