Quit on Close -- booby trap

I've just been informed off line that I laid a booby trap into one of my
example revOnLine stacks that I normally deploy as a standalone:
on closestack
quit # make sure we don't leave a hung process on the user's system
end closestack
which of course is going to cause any developer working in the IDE to
suddenly watch his work disappear as Rev quits. Unsaved changes would be
lost as apparently the quit command over-rides Rev's built in dialog to
save stacks before quitting. My apologies to anyone who had this happen
to them.
I presume that at least one "best practice" would be to *always* use the
if the environment is "development" then
close this stack
else
quit
end if
is that it? If not, please, what would the sages say that *is* best
practice? and I will fix it.
Thanks
