That's a good point.

I do like the new save-some-buffers behaviour -- getting prompted for
irrelevant buffers is just annoying when trying to compile stuff.  But
since exiting Emacs runs the same function, and we kinda do want to be
prompted on Emacs exit (I think), then we're in kind of a bind.

Overall, I think the new behaviour is an improvement.
