extensions

 By using the editable_extensions filter, a user can disallow the editing
 of php files (more accurately: files with a php extension...)

 {{{
 add_filter( 'editable_extensions', 'disallow_php_file_editing' );
 function disallow_php_file_editing( $editable_extensions ) {
         unset( $editable_extensions[0] );
         return $editable_extensions;
 }
 }}}

 However, the file selected when first clicking on the Editor link in the
 menu is always a php file, so the user is given the "Files of this type
 are not editable" wp_die() message without being presented with a chance
 to select a file with a different/allowable extension.
