I'd like to allow files here, but I'd also like to avoid reading them into a buffer or a string just to use with extract_data_from_object(). There's no Lisp_Object AFAIK to represent a file. So for BUFFER-OR-STRING what do I use to indicate a file? "file:///the/path" ; a special string format: URL format (file "/the/path") ; a nested list with a symbol (insert-file-contents-literally "/the/path") ; a form, called in a temp buffer? If there's any precedent for this, let me know please. Thanks Ted
