Okay.  Makes it harder to prove correct or not if I don't know what the
use case is :-)  I can't think of a single use case off-hand.

Even your example of a ??.txt file making retrieval of *.py files fail
is a little broken.  If there was a ??.py file that was undecodable the
program would most likely want to know that file existed.
