Hmmm... no.
If we're not going to treat "url" as a function, then in the statement
put url "file:xyz"
url is a container, as in
"put the contents of the url whose reference is file:xyz"
and in that case, "file:xyz" is the qualifier of "url".
But even as a container the BNF syntax is wrong. It makes much more
sense to ignore the misleading documentation and think of it as a
function.
put url("file:xyz")
