> At the moment, it doesn't seem possible to set the null/empty. We've tried {{''}} which just adds the quotes to the end, and setting to nothing, which just uses the default {{.tmp}}.
> We want the _in use_ file to have the same name as the _closed_ file, so we can read from files that are in use without the file moving from underneath us. In our use case, we know that an in use file is still readable and parseable, because it is just text with a JSON document per line.
