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.
