Hmm maybe an interesting solution would be to add in this sort of optional syntax:
posix path of fileString with quoting
or
posix path of fileString without quoting

But POSIX path is a property, so you can't really go adding parameters like that. You're assuming it's a command.

Yeah it's not much better length-wise than:
quoted form of posix path of fileString

But it is a bit more natural and less unwieldy.

Do you think so? I think that moving the quoting part away from the POSIX path bit and closer to the original string makes its meaning potentially ambiguous (is it "fileString without quoting" or "posix path without quoting"?).
