"Close Window" and "Close Tab" should require user confirmation by default

Description
This has happened one time too many. I launch an expensive CPU-bound job in gnome terminal. After hours of computation, I get the results outputted in the terminal, so I select the output and want to copy it in the clipboard.
ALAS, instead of hitting "copy", I hit "Close tab" (which is right frikkin' next to it), gnome-terminal does not ask for a confirmation and BAM, loses all my work.
Please, do fix this, I use gnome-terminal for hours every day and this would sav e a lot of people from the same shameful and stupid experience.
Simple way to fix this:
In gnome-terminal -> Edit -> Preferences -> Behavior, just add a "Closing windows and tabs" paragrah with a (checked by default) checkbox titled "Ask before closing a terminal window."
Thanks !
