That's why Bug "711158: Warn if same .leo file open in another Leo
instance" has high priority.

It is easy to do in pure python: just maintain a "lock" file, say
~/.leo/open_leo_files, and warn if the to-be-opened file is mentioned
in the lock file.  A common file should be safe enough because
concurrent access can't happen.

However, before doing even this much work I would like to be sure that
no simpler way exists.
