By the way: I think that our choice of having the splash screen
displayed by default even when Emacs is called with a file name is a
mistake. Even more so if the same happens when using emacsclient.
Is there _anybody_ who does not find this behavior annoying? When
Emacs is called with a filename, one has a task to do and wants to
move forward.

As for the default buffer to use: how about using a buffer *unnamed*
that will be in text-mode, that will ask for being saved when one
kills Emacs, and that will ask for a filename when being saved (the
file name becoming then the base for the buffer name)?
Retain *scratch* including the initial message.
