That's because "save cursor position" is a more low-level operation, and
therefore it's applicable to a wider range of software.  You cannot "save
file position" in a terminal program, but you can "save cursor position".
In fact, you should support it if you are implementing ANSI "\e[s".

Sometimes it helps to click on the links, not just count them.
