As a side note, there's a simple trick you can use for this sort of
thing, in lack of anything better ATM...:

# Add the .foo extension to the standard list of ignored files
default_ignore_file = ignore_file
function ignore_file(name)
  if (string.find(name, "%.foo$")) then return true end
  return default_ignore_file(name)
end
