Is the feature useful?

[Leo]

Dear list,

Do you think something similar to the following would be useful for org?

,----[ C-h f muse-what-changed RET ]
| muse-what-changed is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `muse-mode.el'.
| (muse-what-changed)
| 
| Show the unsaved changes that have been made to the current file.
`----

(defun muse-what-changed ()
  "Show the unsaved changes that have been made to the current file."
  (interactive)
  (diff-backup buffer-file-name))

Best,

This looks like a function that is not only useful in org-mode,
but in any mode.

Exactly. I use it all the time but this is my method:

(global-set-key
 (kbd "C-c d") 
   (lambda () (interactive) (diff-buffer-with-file (current-buffer))))

When I was more paranoid, pressing C-x C-s would have cause such thing
happening plus a yes-no question before saving the buffer content :) Now
I only use this plus version-control (to keep up to 7 old copies, 
just in case).
