Bumping this patch again as it would be nice to have in. To answer the 
question more clearly (I thought I did before, my apologies) using 
kill-emacs-query-functions would technically work but also add another 
prompt every time I quit or restart. It makes sense to have a clear 
separation of quitting for good and restarting in place.

I also noticed this morning that `kill-emacs` and `restart-emacs` don't 
handle the prefix argument for the hooks. Would you accept either 
another patch for that or an amendment to this patch? The current patch 
I imagine will need to be rebased anyway, so whichever is easier for 
you.

Again apologies for letting this one slip so long.

Thanks all,

Ellis
