Interesting option, haven't thought about putting it into a submenu of 
Stop. Would reduce the danger of accidentally activating it.

As it's a submenu of Stop, it might be obvious enough. But it might be 
better to ask a kid instead as I am "experienced" and thus 
prejudiced/biased.

That's what I would expect to happen.

"Discard changes" sounds fine. We could name it differently if it's the 
first version, but I cannot think of a good term for that ("Discard 
changes" makes a simple "Discard" for the first version look like 
there's something missing).
