The only thing I would like to see differently implemented is the

OK.
But imagine in the future also the following syntax:
file:/path/file
system:/usr/local/squid/bin/my-squid-conf (to read from an executable
stdout configuration options)
http://hostname/cfgfile (to get from web page configuration)
All the above can be implemented in the future...
Sure, I agree.
file(/path/file)
system(/some/executable)
http_get(http://hostname/file)
Well, this is not a bad scheme :-)
Just the file:/path/to/file a little easier to implement. But not
something important...
I agree that file() is a good alternative. Amos (and others), do you
have a preference between
file:"/path/file"
and
file("/path/file")
syntax?
I slightly prefer file: without the quotes since we can use the URL
parser to interpret it, and like Christo said extend it to full URI
loaded remote content someday.
If we retain the quotes, file= would seem clearer. () is a form of
quoting and you arleady have my opinion of adding more than one form of
quoting. (dont know how I missed out ()-quoting in my rant earlier).
