Yes, previously it was "Save file <...>" and "No for all", and then
"... exit anyway?".  Since the first prompt is now "Close without
saving" it feels a bit more nagging?

But I think it still makes sense to ask twice, since it's pretty...
drastic?  So I dunno.  I don't have any strong opinion here -- what do
others feel?  Should we keep the double prompt even though the first
prompt is now less cryptic?
