Replace "i.e." with "e.g.", since although that list of files is
possibly comprehensive right at the moment, it may not remain so in the
future (possibly just due to oversight). Best not to accidently exclude
any files from the exception list by requiring them to be mentioned in
two places.

Otherwise, I agree. It does read more cleanly.
