This should be the default behaviour. Certainly if I do kill-buffer,
then I get "Buffer blah.txt modified: kill anyway?"

This doesn't happen if the buffer is not associated with a file. So
*scratch* can be killed in this way. If you want to stop this, you'll
need to add a function to "kill-buffer-hook" to query the user first.
