Makes sense - if we don't know how to ask the question, then it is the
same as if we asked the question and the answer was successfully 'no'.

Eww. That does raise an interesting question.  Maybe it's better to make
it a two part question:

1. Simultaneous external edit detected.  Continue your edit [y/n]?

and if yes,

2. Discard local edits by reloading external state [y/n]?

or something along those lines, where we can at a minimum reuse our
yes/no parsing (and thus have only one place that needs to learn I18N in
the future).
