Comment:
In general, I think a period is a valid character in a filename, so we
cannot simply assume everything to the right of the first period is the
file extension. Some different strategies for the issue are detailed on
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6525334/getting-file-extension-using-
pattern-matching-in-python stackoverflow]. I am not sure its up to Django
to pick one, but we could at least document the caveat and link how to
write your own storage subclass so someone can implement the behavior they
desire. Thoughts?
