Could be FILE could be STRING, I am guessing if you asked 100 developers it
would be 50/50.  It is converting a PATH, and although at the end of the day
that is a string operation, it is relevant to files and paths only, and not just
any string.

I am not sure why you would use the reverse, or even what it would mean on unix, where
no conversion will actually take place anyway.
