Description
I was wondering if it could be possible to add a banner or at least highlight text "do not edit by hand" that appears on top of R/Rmd files so that the user can identify files in Read-only mode.
That would be useful for NAMESPACE file for instance when developing packages, that gets this lines automatically with {roxygen2}

Research direction
Start by tracing how the VS Code extension handles R and Rmd files, with the generated NAMESPACE file as the concrete example. Decide whether a banner or highlighted warning is appropriate, then verify that files containing “do not edit by hand” are visibly identified as read-only.
