They can be opened as Microsoft ones anyway. I've no idea if they contain any
extensions compared to the Microsoft ones.

Hm, but even if we do this, it won't really change anything, will it? The
libreoffice-specific patterns will still shadow the system ones; the only
difference is that MS Works files will be identified as WPS Spredsheet, not MS
