Well, a filename could be a string with a hint and the default value set to
the search mask.  For example, to open a wav file, set the default value to
"*.wav,*.WAV".  I think we need to call out that extra info may be needed to
accommodate things like filenames, but that the actual implementation
decision (is it a primitive or a sub-class of a string param?) is not
important now.
