[Paraview] How to simply "Reload" a data file

For what it's worth, I just experimented with adding the line
<Property name="Refresh" command="Modified" panel_widget="command_button"/>
to the CSV reader and XDMF reader in
ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources/readers.xml
The Refresh button appears among the other property widgets and it
indeed reloads the data set.
I would happily add this to all the readers and submit a patch to
gerrit if it would be received well by the core ParaView developers.
Thanks,
Cory
