I don't agree. "all_ext=True" is won't do the right thing in a
significant subset of filenames::
archiveType = os.path.splitext(sourceArchive, all_ext=True)
This won't do what you'd want with most source distributions on the
internet (product-X.Y.Z.tar.gz).
The ignore_leading_dot argument seems to be there to keep everyone
happy and furthermore is an argument that will be passed a constant
value in the majority of usecases (I'd say all uses, but that's just
asking for someone to come up with a lame counterexample). The
ignore_leading_dot argument also doesn't buy you anything that can't
trivially be implemented in other ways.
