likely to use this feature. Furthermore those concerned about power usage and disk spin-up only have to worry about the same Emacs feature (auto-save-hook), and not add another hook or function to their list of things to tweak.BTW, how 'bout optimizing disk writes like savehist does: only save the new desktop file if it's different from the previous one. That doesn't save you from generating the new file's content in a buffer, of course, but still.
I was previously unaware of savehist-mode. What's the point of having both it and the history-saving functionality of desktop? Wouldn't it be better to remove that functionality from desktop and let users use savehist-mode instead? (Or vice versa.)
