You are right, I should have made the requirements clear in the beginning.
I actually had a discussion with the user which approach is the best.
I took the view that a string based method is easier for now and
implemented it.
Then, we had the whole discussion here and I thought, now, that everybody
is unhappy with my approach, I better do exactly what the user wants, instead
of going with a strong opinion.
And now I'm confused and upset. But to be realistic: We only had one user
so who wanted to change the filenames at all. If there is ever going to be a
second or third user, they either have to do another contribution or overwrite
their input format.
