The FileList has already had this done, partially, as I recall (by 
Stephane Ducasse?). But it hasn't made it into the image for some 
reason.

FileList>>itemsForFileEnding:
FileList>>itemsForNoFile
FileList>>itemsForAnyFile

would have to be modified to use the registration scheme.

Right now, itemsForFileEnding: is a great example of the "big switch" 
style of programming.

It seems like a good idea, though.
