Ah - before I wrote that I tried 'C-h w toggle-read-only' to find out 
whether there WAS a binding, and there wasn't...  C-x C-q is 
vc-toggle-read-only -- which is actually a bit better even, in the way 
that it would also check out the file if it's under version control.  I 
wasn't even aware that there was a separate command for this...
