Ok, thanks.  Then your proposal looks reasonable to me.

Allow two questions:

- Have you thought about checking
`ediff-current-file-cleanup-temporary-buffer' when quitting Ediff,
instead of when entering Ediff (with other words: in the lambda you add
to `ediff-quit-hook')?  I think this would fit better with the expected
behavior.  A user might toggle the new option when the Ediff session is
already running.

- Is this the only Ediff command that leaves such temporary buffers
behind?


TIA,

Michael.
