It might be better to make it an error, since otherwise it will be number 1 in
the frequently annoying questions chart forever :-)
Won't it look a little odd though? You'll need Options wild= as well as File=
for simple things like, for example, setting the signature type on all files.
The problem above is that you can't easily exclude unknown things at a
directory level while including some known things at a deeper level. How
about allowing partial matches in the File= line? E.g. something like
File = wild /home/*/Movies
