This is an important part of the concept of *scratch*. IMO "scratch" carries the meaning of a storage area for work in progress. I don't see why that should also mean "that you will loss if you exit Emacs while a bit distracted". We can simply add a customize option to set buffer-offer-save in *scratch*. It's easier and more flexible to add the four or five lines of a defcustom than another special file/buffer and the documentation and cognitive load (for new users) that comes with it. Juanma
