Closing app cancels remorse timer

Too many applications just abandon action that caused remorse timer to appear upon closing. For example:

  • Deleting timer in stock clock application
  • Deleting all done tasks in "TaskList" app

are not close-app proof. There are seems to be application that handle closing during remorse timer properly, like settings apps which applies flight mode change immediately on close if flight more change remorse is in progress. However you can never be sure and I don't want to find out via trial and error which apps are safe to close and which are not, so I find myself always waiting impatiently when remorse timer runs out to be able to close app and still get desired result.

There seems to be nice system-wide workaround for this inconsistency. @00prometheus suggested to add remorse for closing applications. However remorse for closing app should be synchronised with remorse inside app to make sure it does not finish before application action remorse.
