By the way, the reason I use this behavior, is that I use a version-
control system at work that requires a lock of a file before making
any changes. Without the lock, the file shows as readonly. Before I
added the autocmd I gave (not the broken one above!), I would often
make changes, fail to notice the warning that I was modifying a
readonly file, and go to :w, which would always fail. :w! doesn't even
work, since I don't have a lock. Acquiring the lock makes Vim thinks
the file has changed (and indeed, since I don't have a lock, it may
have changed in truth), so I found it best just to always set
nomodifiable until I have the lock.
