Subject: Unable to Jump to a File/Directory Register

Heyo fellow Emacs users,
I have run into a problem with registers, which was easy to deal with,
but I want to know if anyone else has seen this issue before. I
define some registers in my dot-Emacs file for quick access to certain
files and directories. This is the particular register that gave me
problems:
(set-register ?f '(file . "~/.config/fish/"))
Whenever I attempted `C-x r j f` Emacs would respond with
‘jump-to-register: Register doesn't contain a buffer position or
configuration’. However, it would work if I went to that
`set-register` call and manually evaluated it.
I ‘fixed’ the problem by just using a different letter; specifically,
I use `?s` as the register now instead of `?f`, and it works without
any problems. Has anyone else ever run into problems with using `?f`
as a register for short-cut access to files or directories? I am
using the following version of Emacs:
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.13).
Thanks in advanced for any information or insight.
