Wonderful. This does not require an external device and the error
message in the minibuffer that you get when you run the command from
within emacs is negligible.

It took me a bit to find how to add it correctly to the hook list, but
it is what I needed.

Anyway, I still have a doubt.

I managed to have this piece of code work

(defun ediff-after (foobar)
  (interactive)
  (error "pingpipe"))

(advice-add 'ediff-quit  :after #'ediff-after)

but when I tried this a second time it did not work, complaining about
wrong number of arguments. What did I wrong?

Thanks in advance!
