I think that we should bind non-essential to the value of not-essential,
here.  I.e.

    (let ((non-essential not-essential)
          dirs buffers)

That would be saying: only if we are okay with the user saying no to
saving the buffers, we are okay with giving up on looking at them if
they are remote.

How about that?
