I'm not sure if deprecated is the right word, but I'd suggest that
URLs are preferred over simple paths because if you're going to
restrict yourself to brittle string-based file references you might
as well at least pick a form that's flexible and extensible.
Something that can reference locations other than locally-mounted
file systems, for example.
