No, I don't mean for Vim to ignore a request from the OS to quit, such
as at shutdown time, but ignore the pressing of the close box widget;
and when I say ignore, I don't mean that from the OS' point of view.
Rather, it should accept the message like normal and just not do the
traditional window-closing thing on receiving it, but rather, just
discard it, similar to what happens if you click the button and get a
Save Changes dialog to which you reply 'Cancel', except without the need
to actually press 'Cancel'.

It should definitely respond as usual to a quit request, or yes, it
would become dangerous. But having a different behaviour for pressing
the close box widget is harmless.

Cheers,

Ben.
