Where does all this "Don't Save" rubbish come from?
"Cancel" means "Don't save, don't destroy, don't do anything."
What does "Don't Save" mean? Don't save and do WHAT instead?
I want the button to say "Discard" because that's what it does - it destroys
all the work you just did.

I have once lost a load of work like that - very tired, click the close box by
mistake and this thing comes up saying Yes/No/Cancel. My brain was in UNIX mode
[ rm *     Are you sure? (Y/N) ] so I hit "No" before I realized what I'd done.
