Could you summarize what you're suggesting now, please? I previously
suggested one change, to add (setq buffer-offer-save t) to the function
"remember". Your suggestions taken together seem to involve multiple
changes to achieve a) the same result as mine and b) auto-save protection,
which seems worthwhile if it's similarly simple.

I'm not sure it makes a lot of difference if org-capture is as simple to
use, since org-mode is shipped as part of Emacs.
