I see you commented on one of my other pull request so perhaps you are already looking at this as well (if so, please disregard).
Currently monkey-patch.el is not correctly preserving the original behavior of basic-save-buffer. As a result, there is not an easy way to override this in my own pack without defining my own monkey patch (which would just be a copy of the original implementation).
As this is the only request I have put in that cannot be easily taken care of with my own pack, it would be a help if you would consider this one for your next release.
Sorry for the noise, thanks for all your work,
Roth
