The icon is *the most important change* among all that I suggested becuase, as
I said on IRC: it currently sends a wrong visual message.

Bear me with this thought: It gave me a choice of templates and I had a 'Save'
button. I don't want to save it to any of those. By having a choice of
templates I expect to click on one of those and then clicking 'Save' to perform
my will.

I can't predict what the 'Save' button does before clicking it (a priori). It
currently turns out that clicking 'Save' actually asks for something. This is
completely opposite to the currently existing, universal workflow of saving
*anything*.

At least, when a new 'Save as new template' icon is introduced as one of the
options, it will visually guide me to click on it because that's what I want to
do and then think 'Ok, I selected something, now I must find a button to
perform the save'.
