Didn't though it'd freeze the editor (and AFAIK Matthew's code didn't do
that), but that's not a bad idea and would somewhat solve the issue I'm
raising, since both would then basically avoid touching the file until
answering.

Basically none apart depending on 2.18, but your freeze proposal might
be OK.
