And well you should do so.  I'm fsckin' crazy!

I don't understand how it can be easier than save, fix, save (look ma,
no explicit git here!)

Sounds exactly like what I do have except that I never need to invoke
git explicitly for this functionality, and it's never on a branch that
I might push.  Because then, as you say:

The cost is that if you want to steal my code as is, you need to use
Emacs, which is a bridge too far for many.  I'm sure there are other
programmable editors that could implement this easily, too, but I
don't have code for them.
