Not good enough: auto-saving is a critical feature, and I object to
changes that could make it less reliable, because it could mean users
will lose their edits. By contrast, with-silent-modifications is just
a convenience device, to avoid annoying users with redundant "changes"
of the buffer.
What practical problem do you want to solve by that change in
auto-save?
