If it's semi-standard, we should probably support it too.

However, a Google search reveals the following other uses of .sls:
  - A list of images for a slideshow ("sls" stands for "slideshow script")
  - The backup files for some program callled Litespeed
  - ScriptLab Scripts (seems to be an image generation program)
  - Configuration files for the Salt infrastructure management tool

So we probably shouldn't use it ourselves. (Plus, I personally think it's
uglier than .scm, but that's not a strong argument.)
