Either the user or Emacs could verify that the files are identical.
Currently, the user has to do that work. If it was the other way
around, the user would not have to.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I believe that in that case Emacs
wouldn't even have to show a prompt. The recovery file could just be
deleted, as it doesn't contain anything new.
