Description
In the heatmap docs:
save : Union[str, bool, None] (default: None)
... A string is appended to the default filename
Unlike matplotlib, scanpy forces the user to adopt a naming scheme for files. Why not trust the user to name their files as they please? It's annoying and difficult to work around this.

Research direction
Start with the scanpy.pl.heatmap documentation and trace how its save option determines the output filename. Check the existing plotting save behavior before deciding how a user-supplied name or path should be handled. Done means heatmap figures can be saved with the user's chosen filename or location without the default naming scheme.
