  27 ;;; Commentary:
  28
  29 ;; This code sets a buffer-local variable to t if toggle-emacs-lock is run,
  30 ;; then if the user attempts to exit emacs, the locked buffer name will be
  31 ;; displayed and the exit aborted.  This is just a way of protecting
  32 ;; yourself from yourself.  For example, if you have a shell running a big
  33 ;; program and exiting emacs would abort that program, you may want to lock
  34 ;; that buffer, then if you forget about it after a while, you won't
  35 ;; accidentally exit emacs.  To unlock the buffer, just goto the buffer and
  36 ;; run toggle-emacs-lock again.
