The original solution mirrors the way apache works (=does not rely on 
extensions) but since there is a well established extension for map files 
(case insensitive .map), I guess it would be a reasonable choice to filter 
out non .map-s . Also, since it's not much work, I'd suggest including 
similar functionality by the RFC to all keywords where multiple file 
inclusion/processing makes sense. A quick scan through the mapfile reference 
doc tells me the candidates for this are for example FONTSET and SYMBOLSET.
