"Active processes exist; kill them and exit anyway? (yes or no)"
Why is there no third choice: "let them live on, but exit emacs"?
Hasn't emacs ever heard of bash's $ help disown etc.? How could mighty
emacs not be capable of things like that?
And the whole thing should be reworded clearer too.
Perhaps even implement choosing which processes are to live on after
emacs exits.
