Lars W commented on CONFIGURATION-693:
--------------------------------------
Yes, you _could_ do that. But if the value already is a file, it would be
unnecessarily converted to a Path and then back to a File.
Also the exception message would have to be more general to fit for both, Path
and File.
But then, this should have also been done with the URI/URL and some number
conversions.
