on close, allow selection of subset of buffers to save

When you close, you get a confirmation dialog listing the buffers with unsaved changes in them and asking if you want to save changes to them. Today I happened to notice the list of buffers allows selection (only single-select, not multiple-select) and since it's fairly common that I'll have ~20 buffers open and want about 2 or 3 of them to save their changes, I was wondering if that could turn into a multi-select list (or list with checkboxes, or whatever) that let me specify which subset of buffers to save changes to.

I almost never want to save all buffers (since at least a few of them are ones I just had open to investigate something), so if I want to save the contents of at least one but not all of them, I have to cancel out of that dialog, manually go through to the particular buffers I want to save, and do so, then close out linqpad and say 'no' once the list of unsaved buffers doesn't include anything I need to keep.
