But I think it should work.
I guess the most easy way to accomplish this is another shortmess option which is like A, but with an automatic r/o open mode. If this behaviour is accompanied with an inverse [readonly] marker (inverse red on color terminals), that would be sufficient, IMHO. Actually, if I have a file already open in another session I never want to open it for editing in another session. I'm aware that I'd have to use the -r option to recover, should that be necessary.
