As I wrote, I'm also okay with Someone™ volunteering to reimplement
this option such that it invokes basic-save-buffer instead.
A minor mode that you describe would also be fine, but then it should
probably disable auto-saving if auto-save-visited-file-name is set,
right?Sounds reasonable. I'll try to come up with something by next weekend. Probably it will be just(defvar auto-save--timer nil)(defcustom auto-save-visited-interval 5"seconds":group 'files:type 'number:set (lambda (symbol value)(set-default symbol value)(when auto-save--timer(timer-set-idle-time auto-save--timer value :repeat))))(define-minor-mode auto-save-visited-mode nil:group 'files:global t(when auto-save--timer (kill-timer auto-save--timer))(setq auto-save--timer(when auto-save-visited-mode(run-with-idle-timerauto-save-visited-interval :repeat#'save-some-buffers :no-prompt(lambda ()(not (and buffer-auto-save-file-name auto-save-visited-file-name)))))))but it will also need tests and documentation, which take a bit more time.
