I think allowing several instances to use the file at the same time is
important (I always have 2 sessions active at the same time and I'd like
to be able to use (and share) savehist with both of them).
But that only means having to lock while we're saving, which is a very
short time. It also requires being able to refresh the in-memory data
once we detect that the ondisk data has been changed.
