Description
When changing a file that is opened by the editor, the editor should detect this and reload the file.
If there are local changes, the user should be prompted to reload or not.
This is especially handy when doing a git-pull, or after an advanced find-and-replace from within another editor.
(Didn't find a way to auto-refresh in 6.10 and 6.12)
Ps. Thanks for making programming in scheme delightful with Dr Racket! :D
