ParsedFile providers do not work outside of a transaction

Description

When using types with a Parsed File? provider, the class-level prefetch is never called, which means that their current state is never retrieved. This makes them not work with tools like 'ralsh'.

The fix should be relatively straightforward -- just find a way to trigger a prefetch if the data is missing -- but it likely requires a relatively high-level redesign to make this work. I made an attempt at triggering off of an empty @property_hash, and then creating a new hash during flush() (so that the provider class still had the data to write it to disk), but this caused other problems.
