I recently lost a hard disk. I wanted import a backup copy of my address book.
It was not in the list of importable types. Of course it can be imported by the
inconvenient process of tracking down the current empty file and replacing it,
but why not have the easier and more flexible choice of importing your own abook
format.  Clearly harly any code would be required.

Reproducible: Always
