This allows changes in the source YAML file to be reflected
immediately in player after the user saves the file in their
favorite $EDITOR. Previously, a user would need to:
1) start dtas-sourceedit, spawning $EDITOR
2) edit the file
3) save changes
4) exit $EDITOR
5) repeat starting from 1) until happy with the results
Now, the workflow allows avoiding the context switch between their
$EDITOR and terminal to restart dtas-sourcedit:
1) start dtas-sourceedit, spawning $EDITOR
2) edit the file
3) save changes
4) repeat starting from 1) until happy with the results
5) exit $EDITOR
In my experience, this greatly speeds up tuning of the playback
change, giving all the repeatability and flexibility of editing text
files while having the immediacy of an interactive UI.
Keep in mind this can cause problems for those with auto-save
enabled in their $EDITOR buffer at inopportune times, so a
-N/--no-watch option is added.
