I really dislike the idea of saving certain files without asking; however, the feature of making some files as "don't ask" for M-x compile seems useful. If you'd like to add that, please do. One complication is that compile just calls save-some-buffers. So this feature has to be in save-some-buffers, but only when it is being done on behalf of compile, not all the time.
