It was sometime before 0.96 because it was in that release I added the
"Write to Journal Anytime" feature.

But I am confused as to what problem we are solving here.

I think we should require commit messages in Sugar the same way we require
them in our own work. But that said, the decision to commit is made
numerous times through out the lifecycle of an activity, not just at
closing. For example, Turtle, Write, and many others will write whenever
the activity goes to the background. And Turtle saves whenever you run
code. So how does a "don't commit" option work exactly?
