C-x C-s won't ask.

I can think of a couple nuisances:
* If the buffer gets saved to file "untitled", a subsequent invocation of emacs
will visit that file, not an empty buffer.
* Changes to the buffer will be auto-saved to the #untitled# file, and a
subsequent invocation of emacs will ask to recover the file (if the 2
invocations are concurrent, or if the first invocation exited uncleanly).
