Google Docs doesn't have a Save function, instead it has an endless revision history. Which makes me think... if I'm coding and the project is in git repository, why am I still manually saving all the time? Why not automatically save every change I make as a revision, and provide me with endless undo (even if I quit the IDE). "Save" could now instead do a git rebase & squash to produce a neater commit from the many intermediate revisions.

"History" might be the keyword here as long as we remember that in many eastern cultures time, as well as writing, flows from right to left compared to the western left-to-right style. This removes the arrow option, I guess, if we want to keep the symbolism from being bound to specific set of cultures.
