It would be also be good to try again to get a handle on the use-cases 
around the convention that we know as the "file extension". We've had 
several failed attempts on this but I think you make good progress on 
defining it at the last iteration. That is, I assume some temptation to 
use endsWith(String) is just wanting to test if the string 
representation has an interesting suffix.
