I'm not sure this sounds like a generally useful function...  I tend to
think that most users would just be using ibuffer for this stuff, and if
you want to programmatically kill lots of buffers, you don't really want
`kill-buffer-ask'.  It falls between two chairs, I think.

So I'm closing this bug report.
