This could perhaps have been useful ten years ago, but computers are now
fast enough not having to do this.
Lazy file loading causes quite a few problems:
- You don't know how many lines there are, the CTRL-G command would not
work.
- If the file changes after starting to read it you get a big mess.
- If the file is deleted after starting to edit it the user may be very
surprised he lost the text. Recovery will also be impossible.
- You quickly end up loading the whole file anyway if you search for a
pattern without a match, do "G", etc.

This is in the todo list somewhere. It's not difficult to implement,
mostly a question of how to define what language applies where.

I don't think we want yet another option to change the meaning of
patterns. It's difficult enough as it is.

Proof techniques #2: Proof by Oddity.
SAMPLE: To prove that horses have an infinite number of legs.
(1) Horses have an even number of legs.
(2) They have two legs in back and fore legs in front.
(3) This makes a total of six legs, which certainly is an odd number of
legs for a horse.
(4) But the only number that is both odd and even is infinity.
(5) Therefore, horses must have an infinite number of legs.
