It seems that tasks that use mappers usually apply the mapper to a resource 
name; some tasks, like pathconvert, however, apply the mapper to the string 
representation of a resource (e.g. full path for a file resource).  Do we 
consider pathconvert's behavior anomalous enough to call it a bug?  Or rather, 
would we consider it so if we weren't afraid of breaking builds?  I am thinking 
our basic approach should be to document that name-only is the usual usage, 
then document task-level exceptions to this "rule" as we encounter them.  
Opinions?
