Before answering, I'd like to make sure I understand what you want to
achieve.

What do you mean by "environment"?  All the global variables associated
with a given file in the editor?

What do you mean by "save"?  Serialize to a file the "environment"
associated with a file (or the difference compared to the initial
environment)?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
