But of course, "small changes" are never so.

You see, there's a problem with list-of-extensions-to-preserve -- there's no
way to say "all of them".

So I started toward list-of-extension-patterns-to-preserve:

   do[ct] - Word docs and templates
   od? - OpenOffice documents
   ...

But that might be confusing to folks since the global-ignores is file
patterns, whereas this is just file extension patterns. So do I want
list-of-file-patterns-for-which-to-preserve-extensions?

   *.do[ct]
   *.od?
   ...

(You may all issue a collective "Good grief..." now.)
