on first accessing a file
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.
