I disagree.  This should be handled _exactly_ the
same way we handle a buffer for a file that is
read-only.  I see no argument why we should treat
a directory buffer different from a file buffer.

For a file buffer, `C-x C-q' simply echoes:

  "Read-Only mode disabled in current buffer"

That is perfectly clear.

And any attempt to use a subsequent `C-x C-q to
save edit changes should be the time to query a
user for what to do (e.g. confirm saving the
changes or ignore them).

Come up with a good argument why this should be
handled differently from the file-editing case
and we can talk about it.  There are very good
use cases for allowing the _buffer_ to be edited,
regardless of whether the user ultimately wants
such changes applied to disk.
