I think this would cause more confusion than it would help. (What does 
"first accessing" actually mean?)

I wrote about the case where the file is not yet cached by the OS, but 
IMO that is too specific for a help patch. Also, it isn't the *only* 
case that can cause a dropout. In general, file I/O is non-deterministic 
and you are at the mercy of your OS.

I think it's enough to tell users that the buffer needs to be filled in 
time.
