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'.
