The "save" feature is implemented, but it's not currently supported
with onmatch(), which is why it fails, and is used in the xfail test,
since it's expected to.  So, in this case, the command fails, which
means the xfail test actually passed.  ;-)

There are other tests in the inter-event testcases that use save() but
with onmax() and onchange(), and they pass.

Hope that explains things in this case,

Tom
