Oops, sorry, Recorder does not use it.

postLoad is called after construction from python, after loading, or 
after modifying an attribute that has Attr::triggerPostLoad flag set. 
See Cell for a better example, or Facet. For instance, if you set 
Attr::triggerPostLoad to the filename to save to, you will be able to 
change output filename during the simulation, and it will go to the new 
file seamlessly.
