That seems a little vague, doesn't it?

What is a "string a point"?

Would "string under point" be clearer?

No, it's the same. Where does a string start or end? You can put the whole buffer into a string.

The original text tried to point out that it picks up a string that resembles a file name, in particular by calling (thing-at-point 'filename).

I don't have a specific wording to suggest, but it would be nice if your change (aiming to tell the user that the file name may not exist, right?) didn't remove that existing information.
