load is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
(load FILE &optional NOERROR NOMESSAGE NOSUFFIX MUST-SUFFIX)
Execute a file of Lisp code named FILE.
Do you really mean we need to say explicitly that a file's name is a
string in Emacs? What else can it be? From the ELisp manual:
24.8 File Names
===============
Files are generally referred to by their names, in Emacs as elsewhere.
File names in Emacs are represented as strings. The functions that
operate on a file all expect a file name argument.
I think this is so basic that we can always say "a file's name" and
assume the reader must know it can only be a string.
