25.2; kill-matching-buffers without confirmation |

Hi there:
Please add a clean way for 'kill-matching-buffers' to not ask for
confirmation. I need this for non-interactive usage.
The work-around usually proposed involves using 'flet' or some other hack, like
copying and modifying an Emacs internal function (which could change in
the future, thus breaking your copy).
I was advised to create this bug so that it "gets more traction".
I have already discussed this enhancement with the Emacs developers, and
I think that there was consensus that this feature would be useful. More
detailed
information is in this mailing list thread:

Many thanks in advance,

I applied the following, though I was tempted to say that this function
should only be used interactively, and that if you want some other
behaviour, you should code your own function.
