`recover-this-file' quite helpfully shows the time of creation of the
auto-save file.=C2=A0 However, this is not always enough to decide whether =
I
should recover from said auto-save file since there's no way of knowing
if the changes in auto-save file are desirable [1] so I end up answering
yes, then run `diff-buffer-with-file' anyway.=C2=A0 I think having a
`diff-buffer-with-file' option like `save-some-buffers' would be a
quality-of-life improvement.

Thanks.
[1] I fat finger my keyboard quite a lot and end up garbling the file
even after explicitly saving the buffer.=C2=A0 When I open the file in a ne=
w
Emacs session again, I get suggested to `recover-this-file' and 8/10
times, I have to undo.=C2=A0 Having a diff option directly in the prompt
would save some keystrokes.
