Sorry - I copied the wrong string.

That's why I think it's appropriate here ;-)

I would appreciate such an option (what do others think?).

Right, no doubt. Nevertheless, it may happen if you lack in
concentration at the end of your work... I don't want to argue, we
obviously disagree. I wrote this report because I thought others could
have the same wish. Dunno if that's the case.
BTW: I wrote this some time ago:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/emacs-lock+.el
(Didn't adopt it for Emacs 24 yet.)
I wrote it mainly because of these two features:
- when exiting Emacs, and there is a locked buffer, pop it up (because
it's very likely that the user will want to see it next)
- Optionally, let the user enter a short note of why he has locked the
buffer. Print this when the user tries to kill the buffer/ Emacs.
Helpful as reminder for people who run Emacs for several days.
Maybe you find these useful, dunno - I don't mind if not.
Regards,
Michael.
