Now the followup question is whether its natural to expect something better from #asString

I feel like #asString is such a general question that no answer would be satisfying. What string representation should be returned? 'file://'? '/path/to'? And what to do with memory file systems? It's been mentioned a few times on the list that we should all be more disciplined in sending e.g. #displayString vs. #printString instead of #asString. The more I hear that argument, the more sense it makes to me.
