[RFE] Confirm chat close if user input is present

Hi!

I use Pidgin 2.5.8 on Windows.

It happened several times already that I was typing some text in a chat
(it was on IRC) and the pressed ctrl-W, either by accident or because
that is the "delete last word" shortcut in some environments. Pidgin
of course understands it as "close current chat tab".

This is very frustrating as:
 - one loses the typed text (imagine having several lines of it...)
 - one also loses the chat content (even if logging is turned on, the chat window does not reload it*)

So can anything be done against that ?
It is normal for programs to ask "Are you sure?" if unsaved data is aboput to be lost.

Regards,
David
