Research direction

Start by reproducing the save behavior in DrRacket with a text-only file containing collapsed s-expressions, using the linked user report for context. Trace how the editor chooses between plain text and wxme formats. Done means a text-only file saves in the expected text format while preserving the intended collapsed-expression behavior.
