Yeah, we're conflating two notions here: programming languages sources 
files (which might be useful to run etags over, for instance), and 
generated (or non-generated) files.

files-you-generate-other-files-from might also be useful, but I can't 
think of a good application right now.

And generated files are usually included in the ignores list, so we 
won't special handling for them, most of the time.
