Not sure what you mean. The dictionary entry says it accepts a file or

None of the file commands do.
You'll notice some of the commands use typeWildCard ("anything") as
their file reference type. That means any type (within limits) should
work, including string.
To expect consistency from undefined behavior is not logical.
If it works, it was written to do so, so expecting it to work every
time is entirely logical, whether it's documented or not. Expecting
consistency across all the commands in the same scripting addition is
expected.
