    ACL2-pc::save

    (macro) save the proof-builder state (state-stack)

    Example:
    (save lemma3-attempt)
    
    General Form:
    (save &optional name do-it-flg)

    Saves the current state of the interactive proof-builder by ``associating'' it with the given name, which must be a symbol. Submit (retrieve name) to Lisp to get back to this proof-builder state. If verify was originally supplied with an event name, then the argument can be omitted in favor of that name as the default.

    Remark that if a save has already been done with the indicated name (or the default event name), then the user will be queried regarding whether to go ahead with the save — except, if do-it-flg is supplied and not nil, then there will be no query and the save will be effected.

    Also see ACL2-pc::retrieve and ACL2-pc::unsave.
