The docs don't state whether it's case sensitive or not. It also takes the
list as an NSArray rather than an NSSet, which is suboptimal.

If you were to go this approach, which I wouldn't recommend given the existence
of the convenience method above (assuming it's properly case-insensitive), do:
1) Use caseInsensitiveCompare:, not isEqualToString:.
2) Consider using an NSSet for the set of accepted extensions (though that will
mean ensuring they're all e.g. lowercase, both when inserting the accepted
values into the set and prior to checking for set membership).
