Also, the FILE command is a mixed bag.  Most of the parameters
must exist on the system, but some don't need to.  For example,
  :file a=b
works fine even if B does not exist at the time the file equation
is created.  :FILE was not originally designed to be an LDEV checker
etc... but has been used very creatively by our customers for so many
years that there is a fair chance of breaking something if we alter
its parsing rules.

Just my opinion,
