auto-save-visited-file-name: "file changed. really edit?"

[David Reitter]

I find that when I set `auto-save-visited-file-name' to t,
Emacs keeps prompting me whether to really edit the buffer, given that  
its file has changed.  Given the way auto-saving works, one tends to  
get A LOT of these questions while typing.  It really shouldn't ask in  
this situation.
