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.

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.
