I have written a process-in-a-buffer mode that uses a filter to handle output
from the inferior process.  My question is: if I want to be sure not to lose
process output, do I need to set inhibit-quit to T inside the filter?  Is a
filter "quitable"?

I know that setting inhibit-quit to T would be a safe thing; I just want to
know if it's necessary.  From my (cursory) examination of the process
handling code, I think that it might be.

Thanks in advance.
