Eh, it is a bit, but it's so much nicer to be able to write some url
to file by hand - I'm always stuck for a few seconds remembering the
exact syntax (/file/cset/path), and it's quite common operation I
think to give a link to a file to someone.

I did it a bit wrong in this patch, it should be a redirect to an url
instead of just returning file view - I can rework it and resend if
this can be accepted. Also, it's a fallback, so it doesn't make
anything harmful...
