    1. Open the file, producing an fd.
    2. Lock the file (may be combined with step 1 on systems with O_EXLOCK)
    3. After taking the lock, check if the file at the given path is different from what we opened. If so, start over.
    4. Read from the file. This can be elided if its dev/inode is unchanged since the last read
    5. Open an adjacent temporary file
    6. Write our changes to an adjacent file
    7. Move the adjacent file into place via rename. This is assumed to be atomic.
    8. Release the lock and close the file
    
    Consider what happens if Process 1 and 2 both do this simultaneously. Can there be data loss? Process 1 opens the file and then attempts to take the lock. Now, either process 1 will see the original file, or process 2's new file. If it sees the new file, we're OK: it's going to read from the new file, and so there's no data loss. If it sees the old file, then process 2 must have locked it (if process 1 locks it, switch their roles). The lock will block until process 2 reaches step 7; at that point process 1 will reach step 2, notice that the file has changed, and then start over.
    
    It's possible that the underlying filesystem does not support locks (lockless NFS). In this case, we risk data loss if two shells try to write their universal variables simultaneously. In practice this is unlikely, since uvars are usually written interactively.
    
    Prior versions of fish used a hard link scheme to support file locking on lockless NFS. The risk here is that if the process crashes or is killed while holding the lock, future instances of fish will not be able to obtain it. This seems to be a greater risk than that of data loss on lockless NFS. Users who put their home directory on lockless NFS are playing with fire anyways.
    
    It's worth discussing error handling on the initial open (#1):
       File doesn't exist: attempt to create an empty file, then repeat
       Permission denied / other errors: log to the console (once) and then give up
