It is already made non-backupped, so the Put command doesn't appear unless the label is changed.

As of wily 0.9.42 any input that can't be represented in the buffer is replaced with the "invalid" rune, so an easy way to do this is to (verbosely) refuse to Put buffers that contains invalid runes. Since the invalid rune can be manually inserted with Alt-X 0000, this could be (ab)used to write protect buffers, although it complicates the feature of saving guide files with an invalid rune in them so they don't fill the change box or leave backups. -- Tommy Pettersson <ptp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
