Re: address@hidden: modeline doesn't divulge buffer will go bye bye]

    How about adding some code so that when you kill a buffer created by the 
    user (as opposed to buffers created by commands as part of their 
    operation), Emacs will ask whether to save it?

This might be useful for beginning users.  We could implement it with
an option to control it and see whether users want it on or off.
