I understood him to be saying that, if the user clears the name and then
accidentally hits okay (or hits okay without realizing the consequences)
that it will exit and the user will lose their queue. IOW, saying "Okay
I want to save a queue with no filename" makes no sense but the UI
allows it. And what sbopkg does now in that event is exit when that's
probably not what the user wanted. It could just re-prompt for a
filename or allow the user to hit "Cancel" if they mean to cancel. And
that's what looping back around to the dialog on an empty string will
do.
