It's still a fairly recent "shortcut" that we could ever save in a string.
In older AppleScript you had to save in a file too, or it could depend on
the application doing the saving. I gathered that using a string (valid
filepath) was closer to what other programming languages did so maybe made
some new AppleScripters comfortable, but it doesn't sound foreign to me, and
can be learned, not the end of the world. It's basically a coercion which
doesn't (always) work, so just get used to not using the coercion.
