Summary: Add File - Reload

Initial Comment:
When using CVS or SVN, it is common to revert or merge a file that is open in the editor.  It would be great to have a reload/refresh option on the menu to bring in the changed file.  Without that option, the only approach is to close without saving, fire-up the editor again, and reload the file manually.

But isn't this an example of a bell/whistle which is outside IDLE's design
policies?  It would add a menu item which would be rather rarely used,
especially by beginners, it seems to me.  Why not just close the edit
window (not IDLE) and re-open using the Files / Recent Files feature?
