This change has proven itself necessary (although for the moment I can
not
remember just what the circumstances were).
-------------
Is it possible to define this in the component (the implementation) meta
so that a component can declare either avalon:home as File or as URL,
depending on need? (Backwards compatiblity.) As File would mean
writable,
as URL non-writable...
Or am I just adding complexity and semantics without a real need here?
