Do you have an idea where to place it? Theoretically I could put it into the base SymbolFile class, since all existing users are SymbolFiles, but I am not sure if that makes things any better. Renaming the arg to `absolute_path` sounds good.

It terms of functionality, it doesn't, since all users then do `getValueOr(Style::native)`. But I am not sure what's the impact on readability -- it seemed better to have a more explicit value for "I don't know" in such a general API, but since all users just revert to native when they can't guess (and I'm not sure if there's anything better they could do), maybe going through `Optional` is overkill. I'd be happy to change it if you think that's better.
