//! Background Save and Background Export (Preferences → File Handling): a save or an export encodes
//! and writes a snapshot of the document on a worker thread while editing goes on. The status bar
//! shows what is in progress; the result is applied on the UI thread when it arrives (a save marks
//! the document saved as of its snapshot, so edits made meanwhile keep it modified).
//!
//! It needs a thread-safe writer from the host ([`crate::Services::write_shared`], desktop);
//! without one (the web, which downloads) the work runs at once, as with the preference off.
