[TxMt] Re: list of all file types for -t

[Christian Rosentreter]

Hi there,

Just change the "Print :fileTypes" to "Print :scopeName" in my command line. This will
print out what you need. Even "source.perl" and "source.perl.6".

After that just unwrap that proof-of-concept on-liner, clean it up into a nice shell
script, better protect things against error cases, so it won't run wild on you in a
worst case scenario, and you should be all set. :-)
