    Save variables to the given directory by executor.

    There are two ways to specify variables to be saved: The first way, list
    variables in a list and assign it to the `vars`. The second way, assign the
    `main_program` with an existing program, then all variables in the program
    will be saved. The first way has a higher priority. In other words, if `vars`
    are assigned, the `main_program` and the `predicate` will be ignored.

    The `dirname` are used to specify the folder where to save variables.
    If you prefer to save variables in separate files in the folder `dirname`,
    set `filename` None; if you prefer to save all variables in a single file,
    use `filename` to specify it.

    Args:
        executor(Executor): The executor to run for saving variables.

        vars(list[Variable]|None): The list that contains all variables to save.
                                   It has a higher priority than the `main_program`.
