But not everyone uses an IDE. I use vim and it does not have any such
undo feature that works across reloads. Not one I'm aware of anyway. It
is absolutely necessary IMO to ask the user for confirmation before
deleting their work, unless we have a built in safety net.
So how about adding a config option that allows you to disable the
confirmation dialog? Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.
