Description
I have a project with longer calculations and have created a macro to automatically save/calculate/reload object. I am using JLD2 for it and there is something similar in YAXArrays.jl.
Do you think it would be possible to create a more general version that can be integrated into FileIO.jl? And: would it make sense to integrate something like this into FileIO.jl?
Syntax is as follows:
@maybe x => "x.jld2" begin
x = 1
end
If x.jld2 exists, it is loaded and the begin ... end part is skipped, if x.jld2 doesn't exist the expression is run and x is saved in x.jld2.

Research direction
Start by reading the YAXArrays.jl YAXTools.jl implementation linked in the issue and compare it with the JLD2-based @maybe example. Then inspect FileIO.jl to determine whether this behavior fits its scope and existing interfaces. Done means an agreed general design and a clear decision on whether to integrate it into FileIO.jl.
