The Shell window is a subclass of the (base) Editor window.  So 
enhancement 1, invoke ask-to-save after save-as should be easy.  Find 
the current code (grep the message) and determine why it does not work 
for the shell.  Saving the shell is, I believe, rare, and I believe 
there is half a chance that a person who has saved the shell once will 
want to do so again.

Enhancement 2 would be adding a configuration option to invoke 
ask-to-save even without save-as.  I am sure that this would be harder.

Idle-sig is pretty dead, so go ahead here.  You do not have to search 
the tracker if you do not want to.  I have a categorized list of all 
Idle issues on the tracker (with issue numbers) and will look up ideas
against that list anyway.
