  I felt that we missed a chance to change the saving mechanism but by
allowing some lossy-ness, we could make it faster.

  Also, a little trick you can do is to hold the stop button for 1
second; you'll be offered an option to quit without saving.

  That would be a good idea.  We can modify "File Dialog" to support
such a "directory".
