Here's one of them:

To be 100% accurate, I argue for the OPTION or ABILITY to write the scene file
into the image.

Also useful would be to disable overwrite of the default output filename and
instead start writing Filename(1).png, Filename(2).png, etc.

Long time povvers know the dangers of rapid editing and rendering during scene
development.
