Currently, we have, if a file change outside of vim

if autoread is on
- if file is changed inside vim: ask the user
- if file is not changed inside vim: automatically read
if autoread is off
- if file is changed inside vim: ask the user
- if file is not changed inside vim: ask the user

I want a setting such that

- if file is changed inside vim: do nothing
- if file is not changed inside vim: do nothing

or, even better, change to "do nothing" if the last read of the file is either interrupted, or takes more than 0.1 second, or the file is larger than say 10MB. (Applicable for very large file or file mounted over slow network drive.)

conclusion: append this to vimrc

function AutoreadCustomization()
	let v:fcs_choice=''
	"let v:fcs_choice='reload'
endfunction

augroup AutoreadCustomization
	au! FileChangedShell * call AutoreadCustomization()
augroup END
