Joe Strout replied in an email I missed: >> You can (for untyped files), and no, there is no bug here. There is a bug in that if I don't CARE about MacTypes, I shouldn't need to set the value. As it stands, if I DON'T set a bogus MacType, the filter does NOT limit the available files to those that match the extensions. If the value is nothing, it should match nothing and the the hiearchy should pay attention to the extensions defined. If I want an ALL match, then I wouldn't specify ANY filter since that's the default setting for NO filter. > Well, yes and no.

As Thomas states, this is not documented nor is it easily discoverable. And existing examples won't necessarily work and there's nothing in the User Guide OR the Language Reference to enlighten the developer.
