argument can be one of three things:\ (1) a full or partial Macintosh
pathname, (2) an \pytype{FSSpec} object or (3) a 3-tuple

\citetitle{Inside Macintosh:\ Files}. A description of aliases and the
\citetitle{Inside Macintosh:\ Files}. An \pytype{FSSpec} can point to
a non-existing file, as long as the folder containing the file exists.
Under MacPython the same is true for a pathname, but not under unix-Pyton
because of the way pathnames and FSRefs works. See Apple's documentation
