A defcustom seems too risky for this. A user can unknowingly copy that var
from somewhere and then end up killing modified buffers without
confirmation.
Add a new defun that just sets the new optional arg to non-nil value is
less risky as the user would then be knowingly calling the risky variant.
The default kill-matching-buffers will still remain safe.
What do you think?
