This picks up both *.7z and *.7z.sig.

Should it be picking up the latter?
(You could always add a "sig" extension if you wanted them.)

Add an extension "40".

Picks up all the files in the directory, including the parent directory entry too.

Nothing (rightfully) is picked up.

Suppose all in all, it doesn't really matter.
Just that results that are being returned as not as one might expect.
Though once you understand just what is happening, easy enough to adjust for it.

And its not really a "file extension" that is being recognized, but rather something more like "(\.\w)?", such that an extension of "5" picks up everything from here:
