There's logic in there now to display the extensions if it finds files  
with different extensions. I did that to preserve legacy behaviour but  
still disambiguate in the case where you have foo.t and foo.phpt.

But I don't like it - I'd rather just see the extensions in all cases.

Aesthetically I'm very happy about the leader dots, thanks :)
