I think my use case was Sharepoint and static site generators - Sharepoint can 
serve a tree of .aspx files as raw HTML, but maddeningly not .html files. The 
site generator we used spit out a fairly complicated site where the internal 
links point at directories counting on the fact that it is served correctly by 
the directoryindex handler. The site generator spits out .aspx but http.server 
can't serve them. 

A directory full of .xhtml files would have similar problems, which certainly 
still exist in the wild. 

The example in the test was named index.test because it's creating files on the 
disk in the test, shared by other parts of the test, and I wanted to be clear 
about what it was. It was not intended to be an example use case.
