I think I may have seen the Windows f.m. do it, but I'm not sure.
(If it was there, it was one of those features I disabled as
quickly as possible. Not that that's an argument against having it
in Nautilus.)

If something like this is added, there probably ought to be a list
of acceptable index page types, similar to what you find in a web 
server config file... Though you probably wouldn't want the same 
list. ("index.php", for instance, is probably not going to look
the way you'd expect. :>)
