 Given that the act of saving updates to files is obscured/automated by the
 datastore/Journal system, if a user makes mistakes in the file she is
 editing, is it possible to go back to a version of that file before she
 started editing?  Or if a user knows that she wants to preserve the
 document's changes-so-far as a separate object, preserving the original as
 well, is that possible?  If opening a file and editing it causes the only
 preserved copy to be updated, does that limit the control that a user has
 over her files?

 How can a user treat a file as both immutable and as the basis of further
 work (i.e. to use it as a template)?
