First trigger-happy and then worried. Disappointment often leads to worries ;-)

Maybe it is my imagination, but I can't think of anything that can go
seriously wrong here. (Unless the code that queries the user is wrong,
but let us find those bugs in that case.)

The only thing that I believe can go very wrong is that
buffer-offer-save gets killed - in the situation that we have now.
