for the record (not necessarily for the docs) can you expand on the
sort of problems that might arise?
It actually avoids more problems than it creates, consider the example.php.txt
file, which if done with AddHandler will always run through the php handler,
while if done with mime types will devolve to text/plain through the standard
handler (which is what's implied by the filename ordering.)
