Description
When you (usually, by accident) open the same notebook twice, an awkward situation may arise where changes can get lost. That is why an editor like `vim` will warn you when you open a file for editing that is already open in another session.
Would it be possible to add such a warning mechanism to the Jupyter Notebook Editor?
The **Notebook changed** warning (with Reload/Cancel/Overwrite options) is helpful, but it may come too late. Once, you end up in that situation, you may already have a merge problem for the changes made in the two edit sessions. It would be better to warn earlier, to prevent this situation.
