Can I load request to add nodes if the name is calc and store?

Summary: I've set the Core.Name property to calculate and store so that I can auto-increment the new node member names (e.g. the first node added is 001, then 002, and so on). This is really cool but I lose the ability to load request items from a file. I'd hoped that I could just load a request with null names and that EDM would auto-populate them based on the calc and store expression… no dice… any suggestions out there? (or am I out of luck?)
