More that the client could report some sort of "new version of file"
message.

The RA layer is public API. At present the RA layer invokes open_file
in the client's delta editor when there is a no-op text change so this
is a visible to the client. Our client chooses not to report this to
the user but other clients might choose differently. It's not entirely
clear what the client can assume about an open_file that is not followed
by either apply_textdelta or change_file_prop but it would not be
unreasonable for a client to report that it received open_file.
