- On a related issue, I think someone a while back asked how one can get emacs
- to ask the user about saving *scratch* buffers when exiting emacs. Right now
- standard emacs just wipes them is there a way to get it to attach some
- importance to *scratch* buffers? Just a simple "save buffer to disk?" would
- be nice.
