If I visit a file in a buffer, and then the file is deleted, the code
in prepare_to_modify_buffer will not consider this a change of the
file on disk.  This seems to me to be a misfeature, since the user is
unlikely to be aware that the file has been deleted, and it is
probably significant that it has been deleted.  Certainly, in our
environment, we want to be warned about this situation.  Could this be
changed in the next version of Emacs?

Thanks,
