[racket-dev] File is really large (> 5 MB), really open?

I accidentally opened a sound file in DrRacket today; cue six minutes of thrashing and computer unhappiness.  Would it be okay if I added a second-check dialog to DrRacket that checked the size of a file before opening it, and asked for confirmation before opening files larger than, say, 5MB?
