Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Notepad++ always asks, even when the edit buffer is not dirty. Actual use case: 
edit file with tkinter import and run in 3.4.  Works.  Open file in 2.7, 
changet tkinter to Tkinter, and run it.  If I click on the 3.4 wndow, I do not 
want it silently changed.

Here is my expert use (with changed edit buffers).  Hg nearly always screws up 
merges of Idle entries in misc/NEWS (skip the whys).  So I open the two or 
three required versions in Notepad++, edit all to how they should be, save the 
earliest (currently 3.4), go to TortoiseHg, commit, and merge forward 
(currently to 3.5).  If there is a conflict, revert to local, activate the 3.5 
Notepad++ window, click NO, save, go back to TortoiseHg, mark resolved, and 
commit.

I am curious when beginners would need this feature.
