need to care about Urls or Sources at all? Why should it be different
then map:generate with its src attribtue? And when I read
CacheableFileGenerator something tells me this approach is wrong.
What's the advantage of giving our components the responsibility to deal
with strings that represent sources?
Isn't that what components are there for? Encapsulating commonly used
functionality? Why should I extract that to the pipeline *instance*
level? So writing pipelines is becoming a mess!
