Seriously, you would want to tell developers in todays times that they
can't concurrently access a file?

Unfortunately TJSONConfig and TXMLConfig encapsulates the file handling -
it's not available to the developer to change. So the file handling fix
needs to occur in these components themselves.

Lazarus IDE even makes the TXMLConfig component available to developers on
the System component palette - ready to be dropped on any form. All without
the warning of potential data loss (even with StartEmpty = False)!
