Here are results from identical files with different extensions:

Filename        Worked?
---------        ----------
trash                Yes
trash.el             No
trash.c                No
trash.txt            Yes
trash.fd            Yes

Does the mode work entirely off of the extension or does it also check
content? Thanks.

This didn't seem to have any affect.
