Btw, what mmm-mode does is quite nasty, because it causes stale lock
files to be left behind, if you press 'p' when Emacs says that the
file is locked.  This is because mmm-mode makes the buffer unmodified
again after doing whatever it is that causes these prompts, and if you
then kill Emacs without ever editing the file, the function that
unlocks the file is not called (because the buffer is not modified).

AFAICT, it only did that to make sure the subsequent `kill-buffer' doesn't query the user. It doesn't seem to do that either way, so I removed the `set-buffer-modified-p' call.

But Emacs still leaves the orphan lock files upon exit.
Maybe that has something to do with the fact that said modification and killing are being performed in a temporary indirect buffer.
