They should be changed to fetch a File (eg. a FileDeleted class), but I
don't see why that follows that we need a TempLocalPath class.
SwiftMedia files are stored in an object store (as are Microsoft
Azure). Some functions need local access to these files. getPath()
simply promises to hand over the path to the files if it were stored
in the local filesystem.
