+
+ * if referenced from a result,
+   and no_upload is not present,
+   set upload_when_present.

+Edge case:
+an input file that may have been generated by a previous job.
+If not, this job should generate it.
+Include such a file as an output, not an input.
+Input files have the property that if they're not present,
+we download them.
