-e. Race conditions, where somebody modifies a file while we're
-   processing.  I propose not to modify the algorithm to handle this,
-   but to detect when this could lead to inconsistencies.  (For
-   example, when we decide on the dependencies based on cache
-   metadata, and then we decide to re-parse a file because of a stale
-   dependency, if the re-parsing leads to a different list of
-   dependencies we should warn the user or start over.)
