Consider making downloaded files read only.

This could be annoying as hell though. Perhaps should be an opt-in or something.

@back2dos The lix extension warns you when you attempt to edit files in the lix cache, I think that's a pretty good middle ground.

Yeah, that's a pretty good start, but:

  1. not everyone uses VSCode
  2. assuming the compiler server could skip checking readonly files for modifications (it doesn't, but it would seem like a sensible strategy), it would reduce the footprint of libraries in incremental builds

The latter was my primary motivation.
