As I said when we discussed this, I don't like the idea of warning,
unless it also offers to save all unsaved buffers.

I'd prefer that we try to detect the problematic situation and tell
the user she could be in trouble only if we find that to be the case.
That is IMO what the TODO item should say.

I don't agree with this assertion.
