The intention was to not crash on a call to _load_io_log) if it
happens after the file is removed. But no strong opinion... it's
indeed incorrect usage and not ignoring that is a way to go.

Good point. Let's increase the overall control we have over the files
and better protect the code.

Ok, raising exception it is.

My bad. Leftover after the rename of self._args.

Yes, as I stated before, I'm increasing the control over the files.
