Comment:
I'm inclined not to do anything here. If you're allowing the user to
supply a filename in a secure setting, you should do a lot more than just
check for a `.cfg` extension, you should probably be extremely restrictive
- e.g. the filename must be composed only of the characters
`[A-Za-z0-9_.-]`.
