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