Re: Proposed patch: allow user to disable lockfile creation

    We have a variable `inhibit-clash-detection' for the purpose.

I wonder if it is possible to determine automatically the best value
for it.  To have multiple users on a machine requires serial terminals
or services that allow remote login.  My laptop has neither, so it is
impossible to have multiple users on it at once.

Maybe NFS provides a way to have multiple people editing in one file system.
It is possible to determine whether NFS is in use.
