-The plain scheme just overwrites the file in place. This however poses problems when we are interrupted right within
-the write, so we have incomplete data. So, the following scheme is applied:
-Unix:
-1. writes to <filename>.new
-2. moves <filename>.new to <filename>, clobbering previous file
-Windows:
-1. writes to <filename>.new
-2. delete <filename>
-3. moves <filename>.new to <filename>
-
-We count a new version of the state as "committed" after stage 2.
-
-During loading, we apply the following order of precedence:
-1. <filename>
-2. <filename>.new (windows only, in case we were interrupted just before 3. when saving)
-
-
-All of these functions return either true on success or nil, error on error.

--- parts_table is a table where the keys are used as part of the filename and the values
--- are the respective data written to it.
--- e.g. if parts_table={foo={...}, bar={...}}, then <filename_prefix>foo and <filename_prefix>bar are written out.
--- if 'callbacks_table' is defined, it is consulted for callbacks the same way save_atomic does.
--- example: if callbacks_table = {foo = func()...}, then the callback is used during writing of file 'foo' (but not for 'bar')
--- Note however that you must at least insert a "true" in the parts_table if you don't use the data argument.
--- Important: the callback must close the file in all cases!
