"Didn't I fix paragraph 503 a few months ago? Now I have doubts about
the integrity of the whole file!"
The above statement would likely be made by a user who's head was
turned during the vital "consider M-x recover-file" message in the
minibuffer, many edits ago that fateful day. The message was probably
replaced by a flyspell message or whatever by the time he turned his
head back. M-x mark-my-words: one day it will bite you too.
If you are not going to use a stronger method of warning than fleeting
messages in the minibuffer, then well, at least you admit that you are
not going to impede emacs -batch jobs whereas I would!
