​Yes.  refresh-from-disk just deletes all the children of the root node and
then calls the appropriate atFile helper.

I tried to indicate my own uncertainties with parenthetical question. The
initial post, and the comments in #505, are merely starting points.

Certainly the differences between @<file> types is important, but I suspect
that @file is the acid test.

I have two new tools at my disposal since writing the code so long ago.
One is the principle of "the simplest thing that could possibly work".  The
other is cff.  I am confident that Leo's new read code will be much better
than the old. It's worth any amount of effort.
