Could you please expand a little on this (reasons, motivation, pros and
cons)? It seems to me that enforcing that a file can only be edited by one
at a time (i.e. avoiding that it accidentally be edited by someone who
forgot to use the -c option) could be helpful for files where this is a
real requirement.

Thanks,
