No, this is to trap files named with GUID extensions, which are a way
to bypass the ".doc == Word Document" interpretation. For example, if
you send "fnord.txt.{GUID_FOR_MS_EXECUTABLE}" then Windows will
execute it per the program specified by the GUID.

No, that won't do it. There is no change to MANGLE_EXTENSIONS that you
can make that will affect double-extension processing. That is purely
the province of the poison and strip lists.

I added the (?...) support so that we could poison double-extension
filenames while permitting documents with annoying names like
SALES.JAN.2002.CLO.BLE.DUH.FEH.DOC to pass.

  In 1998 more than three times as many people in the US were killed
  by incompetent physicians than were killed by handguns, yet the
  President of the A.M.A. is adopting "gun safety" as his platform.
