Is this event meant to let scripts also save their data when a .blend file
is saved or do you have more in your mind?  Cause possibly it's better to
extend the Draw.Register (see Method_Register in api2_2x/Draw.c) with a
"save" callback that scripts themselves can register, much easier this way.
I was thinking about adding a "quit" callback, so scripts could exit nicely,
saving their data, etc., but your idea about "save" covers that and is more
general.

So could you tell us about your ideas of uses for this new event and what
you think about adding a callback in Draw.Register instead?  Others please
also share your ideas on this.

You mean directly on the interface or via the scriptlink methods, like
object.setScriptLink(textname, event) ?  I tested both ways today, for
objects, worked fine here.  Please give more details.
