Details:

I believe that allowing the user to provide a cell vector of string matrices
listing all of the variables to be saved could allow much greater flexibility
with the `save()` command, particularly due to the existence of the `who`
command as well as the existence of `-regexp` functionality within the `who`
command.

I would recommend that if such functionality were incorporated, that the
`save()` documentation provide a `see also` to the `who` command.
