you can write a resolver that searches the filesystem for "foo.*" and  
does some type calculation based on the extension it located, sure.   
or you get a similar effect with two resolvers in a chain, one which  
is configured to look for "<name>.jpeg" and return a jpeg-template,  
and one configured to look for "<name>.gif" to return a gif- 
template.  you can switch the order of those resolvers to specify one  
extension taking precendence over the other.  the common use case in  
myghty is looking for ".py", which gives you a ModuleComponent, or  
".myt" or another file-based extension which gives you a FileComponent.
