it's a bit irritating, esp for being pointless:
a quick look at LYMainLoop.c (c lines 2000, 3780) suggests
another instance of long-ago coding which wasn't intended to be permanent
(judging by FM's comments). isn't there a strong case today
for inserting a request for confirmation at this point -- as with POST -- ,
which looks like an easy bit of programming?
it would help users avoid inadvertently losing lots of form-fillings.
should i add it to my list of little programming exercises (one day)?
