'save in append mode

[newdep]

Hi Lutz,



Is it possible to use 'save in append mode? currently 'save

overwrites which is a little tricky..

You could use 'source', which since 8.6.1 works like 'save' but returns a string. That string than you could write to a file opened in append mode.



Or you could at first collect all the symbols and contexts you want to save and than do 'save' once, because 'save' can take multiple symbols/contexts.

ps: for v.8.8 I have 'append-file' on my to-do list, which works like 'write-file' but appends. Then it will be even shorter.
