Description
The Xtext editor callback currently does not distinguish between save (as) and revert to saved. However, it would sometimes be beneficial to distinguish between the two cases, for example, when implementing save actions, such as auto formatting or cleanups.

Research direction
Start by locating the Xtext editor callback and tracing how it is invoked for save, save-as, and revert-to-saved actions. Done means the callback lets callers distinguish save cases from revert-to-saved, supporting actions such as auto-formatting or cleanups.
