    It doesn't (but possibly should) apply to these commands:

      insert-file insert-file-literally

I think those should query about large files.

                                        recover-file
      recover-session-finish recover-this-file revert-buffer

Those should not query.  When you ask to revert a buffer, you are
unlikely to want to stick with the old version just because the new
one is large.

    Also, when I see "File ... changed on disk.  Reread from disk? (yes or
    no)" and answer "yes", the file is read in without its size being
    checked.

I'm sure the user wants to use the current version of the file
even if it is large.  So this should not be changed.
