save does not save key bindings

[Ethan A M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

While creating a gnuplot script for use as a class demo,
I discovered that key bindings are not saved by a "save"
command.  Intentional? Oversight?

Should we add these as a normal part of "save"?
Should there instead be a separate "save bindings" command?

I'd vote for adding `bindings` to the list.  I'm guessing there is someone who'd like to set up their bindings and save just the bindings.  Then perhaps add a load command to their initialization file.  So, "yes" on both those questions.

I agree.
