That's the main problem: some users like to accumulate buffers
and some users don't like.  So there should be an option to disable
accumulating by `q'.  One variant is remap such as you recommended in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-10/msg01136.html
Another variant is adding a defcustom such as `quit-window-kills'.
It seems defcustom is more user-friendly.
