 When adding a media item (typically image) to a post or page, the author
 should be notified whether the same media item is in use on a different
 post or page. This is important because changes to alt text, crops etc in
 one post may impact the way the image is displayed in another.

 This is a common complaint from new users: They change the alt text for an
 image in one location and then later realize that same alt text changed
 somewhere else. Or, they remove an image not realizing it is in use
 somewhere else.

 some sort of indicator a la "This media item is currently in use in the
 following 8 posts" would be useful.
