Well, depends on how we define it. I think the editor should not "eat" file
contents :)
Yes, I think the editor should ask the user and reject edits if it's not
possible to write the whole file, it's much better than writing partial file.
BTW. I discovered that typing <tab> in command mode does not give me the <tab>
character, while older version of vi do (so one can say :1,$ s/^/<tab>/g to add
a tab character in front of all lines). Is this related to locale settings?
