FB 3 will in general ( it doesn't always get them all for some reason) save
your current file changes before the compile.

I used to not like that, but now I count on it.

What is cool about it, is that if the file hasn't been encountered by the
compiler yet (you fast machine guys won't be able to do this) you sometimes
can change a type you just saw, save the file again, and avoid blowing that
compile. :)

When I need to run things unchanged or for prototyping a single FN faster
with multiple runs, I will use FB II.

What stinks then is that FB II leaves me in a lurch ( I do actually),
because I don't save the changes...counting on them to be saved for me.

A double edged feature for sure.
