I feel like #asString is such a general question that no answer would be
satisfying. What string representation should be returned? 'file://'?
'/path/to'? And what to do with memory file systems? It's been mentioned a
few times on the list that we should all be more disciplined in sending e.g.
#displayString vs. #printString instead of #asString. The more I hear that
argument, the more sense it makes to me.
