You can't approach things from a programmer's perspective when thinking about interfaces. I mean, I see your point, but how would that make it any more user-friendly? More powerful, sure, but it would require an extra layer of abstraction, which is going in the directly opposite way of user-friendliness.

Besides, you already have all that right now, by using the dynamic language of your choice + file system APIs.
