I don't know how or why anyone would do that, I just think we
shouldn't silently screw up their data if they somehow do :-). (It's
certainly _possible_ to do, by manually editing .mt-attrs if nothing
else.)
Probably just a N() that there are no current attributes on the given
file name.

Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, "It's pretty, but is it Art?"
