I wondered whether some kind of autocmd would help here. I
don't have time to check into it sufficiently myself, but I did
find this old thread from 2005 entitled "Using VimLeave to
Prevent Exiting":
http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/Using-VimLeave-to-Prevent-Exiting-td1143011.html

The post states that the autocmd idea won't work when closing
Vim via the window's "X" close button. But maybe something has
changed in the past 10 years, so I thought I'd bring up the idea
just in case.
