This command is traditionally called Revert. I checked in some random
programs: Adobe Photoshop, the Gimp, Mathematica, Picassa.
'Reload' directly tells the user what will happen (the disk file will
be reloaded), while Revert tells the user the end effect (all changes
will be lost). I like reload better because "Revert" can be ambiguous
between "Revert to originally loaded version", and "Revert to disk
file". These two can be different when the disk file is changed after
it was loaded.
I think we should use the standard name for this feature. All
applications I know call it Revert, so LyX should do the same. It's
quite confusing if every application uses different terminology.
