Rationale for this change

As described in issue 46927, the source param can take a file path. This commit documents that in the docstring.

One other person has claimed the issue, and one other person created (and abandoned back in 2025) a PR on the issue, so I feel this is safe to take on without stepping on any toes.

Fixes #46927
