Hello all,

I just now realized that importing does not warn about overwriting existing 
tiddlers with the same name! I feel this is a bug, but am not sure if this 
is the desired behavior. If it is, I will open an issue on GitHub asking 
for a warning to be shown. 

*Steps to reproduce:*

   1. Go to https://tiddlywiki.com/
   2. Drag and drop the attached tiddler to import
   3. Accept import


*Desired Outcome:*

   - The import tiddler warns you of the incoming tiddler with the same 
   name *and* leaves that conflicting incoming tiddler unchecked, 
   preventing accidental data loss. A user can still manually check it, 
   acknowledging the warning. 


*Actual Outcome:*

   - The import tiddler shows *no* indication of a collision/existing 
   tiddler. Upon accepting the import, the contents of the HelloThere tiddler 
   are lost without warning. 


I came across this while trying to import around 100 tiddlers into my TW. 
These tiddlers were automatically generated using a modified bibtex 
importer in another playground TW for some papers I am working with. I 
realized after the fact, that I already had an entry in my actual TW for a 
paper, whose content I now lost.


Note: The attached tiddler is just a title of "HelloThere" and the content 
"modified":

[
    {
        "created": "20171218222709327",
        "text": "modified",
        "title": "HelloThere",
        "tags": "",
        "modified": "20171218222716073"
    }
]
