Whitelisting filenames in cases like this is better than blacklisting.
The above fails to ignore for example *.rpmsave, *.rpmorig, *.rpmnew,
#*, core(.\d+)?, etc. Maybe "LC_ALL=C grep '.sh$'; do". Also, the
order of the snippet loading should be predictable, so LC_ALL or
LC_COLLATE should be set to eg. "C" before "ls".

Testing that $x is a file (or at least not a directory) would be nice
for completeness.
