File Open dialog should list document classes

The File open dialog should list document classes in the "files of type" dropdown.

I use Textpad to write code in a language (MapBasic) whose compiler puts intermediate (object and error list) files in the same folder as the source code, and the linker expects these files in the same place. When I need to open a file I have to wade through all of the intermediate files to find the one I want, and it's easy to slip up and choose one of these intermediate binary files.

If a document class generated an entry in the dropdown, I could filter for the file extensions I wanted.

Add an entry to
Configure | Preferences | File Name Filters

OK workaround; but why doesn't creating a document class generate one of these automatically?
