That will be nice if you can add that work-around. I am compelled to do 
an "undo" when I see a buffer is marked "modified" for no good reason 
because I am afraid of inserting characters accidentally since we all 
press those short-cut keys so fast. One thing I hate about Microsoft 
word is when you close a word file, even if you did not do anything to 
it, it often asks you whether you want to save your changes.

Thank you.
