CMD+Q is intended to quit: that's what CMD+W is for (for closing the current window).

Yes, but it's standard for apps to ask for confirmation before quitting if there's reason to think the user might not really mean it e.g. there's unsaved data or unfinished operations.
I know you know, but for those who don't: it _was_ standard. Apple nowadays promotes applications to autosave and restore windows with their content at startup.

I think an utility like this should follow that strategy.
