Creating this issue to address a suggestion of a new IDLE feature
pointed out on bpo-1721083.
The feature in question is about warning the user about a newer version
of the file before overwriting it.

Patch seems clean, can it be commited?
serwy commentedon Dec 9, 2011
The patch won't apply against 3.3a0 because "self.set_saved(1)" became "self.set_saved(True)" in r70054 (da7a120c0478)
After correcting this minor point, the patch works as expected.

The latest patch reflects msg112886 and msg149117 so I believe it should be committed.
