What would this break? | A novice who hasn't yet figured out how to set buffer-offer-save to nil is likely to be confused or bothered by the possibly large number of temporary buffers that Emacs will ask him whether to save. In my current Emacs session I have eight temporary buffers, which I would like to just dissappear with no questions when I exit Emacs. Typing so many `n's each time you exit also increases the chance of accidentally typing `n' when you meant to type `y'.
