Do you have a good reason? (and no, any code that looks like or is a dirty hack doesn't count).


If people should be generating paths, we should make the common case the easiest. That would mean using ALLEGRO_PATH everywhere.

There are many cases where you have the filenames just as strings. For example:

image = al_load_bitmap("hardcoded.png")

or

filename = al_read_config_value(...)
image = al_load_bitmap(filename)

And given how Allegro's use always was for simple programs, uses like these are likely the most common in fact.
