Why?  As far as I can tell, it's inconsistent with what properties are 
used like in other programming languages.  Saving something is an 
action, which to me is a different concept.  If it was called 
currentState instead, that's what I'd call a property.

Making something a property gives it certain connotations that break 
when it's called 'save'.  That you can save the state of the range is a 
property, if you will.  But the action of doing so is not a property. 
People are going to be surprised when save() doesn't compile.  Isn't 
there something called the principle of least surprise?
