 Currently, if you create a custom post type, and have rewrites enabled, it
 will generate posts with URLs along the lines of /post-type/post-name.
 However, if you try to access an index page at the obvious URL of /post-
 type you'll get a 404, as Wordpress will try to find a page with that
 slug.

 Whilst it's possible to manually create a page with that slug name, and
 then use a custom template to generate a query bringing back the most
 recent posts with a set post-type, it'd be useful if this was built-in
 (and I suspect it'd be the expected behaviour).

 Suggested function to use would be is_post_type() which uses the template
 post-type-slug.php falling back to archive.php if that's not present.
