This isn't actually that much of a concern - we already set up a file watcher
for the current file that automatically updates it when it's changed. So
there's no need to wait for a reload in that case.

That only works for local files, but I don't think it's possible to add remote
files to the widget anyway. (Which might be something we could consider at some
point in the future, but if we add that it would need some machinery anyway
that we could extend to then reload those files periodically). 

I'm not quite sure how this would interact with locally mounted remotes - but
at this point we're several levels deep into hypotheticals, and I don't think
that's a good enough reason to not do this. Probably not in a stable release
though, to be on the safe side.
