Well... generally I think you're right, but just for testing last night I made an importer / writer pair that just added "Opened 2014-2x-xx" and "Closed 2014-2x-xx" timestamps to the body... hmm, that's not really illustrating my point. My point is that @auto-weather for example might read the weather observations recorded in the file and append the current observation to the file... so potentially it should be called even on an empty file. It seems to me that calling the importer and writer on empty files should have so little cost in cases where it's unnecessary that it's worth doing it just to enable all the "who would have thought of that" applications these super cheap load/save hooks provide.
