🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕: this saves an ALLEGRO_BITMAP(3) to an ALLEGRO_FILE(3) stream. The file type is determined by the passed ident parameter, which is a file name extension including the leading dot — yes, the dot is part of the whole look, don't forget it 💅✨

• Returns true on success, false on error. 💖
• The file remains open afterwards. 🫶

⚠️ Note: the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by default. You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler. no cap, that part is important 😭
