For me, an application makes sense, if it helps me solving my tasks. I
think, it is better to have a function that is duplicated (like save as ...
on local disks) than to enforce the user to subject a global "using policy".
If you don't want to use "Save as...", you can simply ignore it.
My original question was also, if one could add the "Save as.." functionality
using a script or whatever.

So what? Because it doesn't make sense to _use_ it, why should this
functionality be _removed_?
